Evenin', sirs. Sorry to return late. Yes, 1,1,1, tri-cloro-ethane, used to wash OLD cloth that has had verdigris. Haven't used it on new cloth. Hardware stores (not big box) and paint stores had it. "Years past" was, and is, as Ron points out, the operative phrase. Burns the skin a bit, but washes clear with soapy water. Wouldn't wanna get it in my eyes...... http://www.nsc.org/library/chemical/111-Tric.htm It's very nasty stuff, and a lot of us used very nasty stuff years ago because we didn't know any better. We also use much much smaller quantities than other industries use. Heck.... in the old days, our parents fed us, bathed us, and housed us in a toxic circus. And WE turned out oh.....oh......oh......oh.....----- kay. Right? And now, I'm getting prone. Just .... talk amongst yourselves.
