When your husband spills a can of Finishline degreaser on a newly waxed kitchen floor, give him a
good smack upside the head.

And then put him down on hands and knees with a can of paste wax to repair the damage....
(sorry, Jim)

Degreaser makes a good wax stripper.

Ah man...

Of course, I've done the same myself, or worse. Canned pineapple does weird things to
floor wax, too.

After this damned puppy is house broken, I intend to replace both my so-called no-wax floor AND most
of my carpet with ceramic tile. (I'm holding off because I do intend to have islands of carpet for
warmth and noise control, and he's not only not *quite* house broken, he's still randomly chewing
things. One has to be practical about these things, lest one find oneself hucking off the deep end.
Think about this in terms of thy dear husband....)

I know how that sort of thing goes. We have a new baby who isn't exactly housebroken yet either (not
even close). So we'll be using the same grungy furniture for some years to come now. No use in
getting anything nicer. It would quickly be transformed into what we have now.

There is a solution to your problem. Trade your baby in for a new titanium bike. Perhaps they will
be willing to take your baby off your hands:

Ah, grasshopper, you learn the way of the cleaning chemist. Degreaser *is* floor stripper in many
cases, just a different label.

You might as well wait till the little darlings grow up and move out.

We have used quite a bit of soap on the little guy, so maybe some Ti has worked it way in. Or maybe
there was some in some dirt he ate. Either way I think we'll keep him.

I've grown pretty attached over the past few months, and I think he likes us too. I'd hate to
mess that up.

a few years)

I heard of cooking with Crisco but not with Finishline. What was he doing with it in the
kitchen anyway.

And quite a few people think that bleach works for spot cleaning carpet. I don't correct them very
often, because I make have made alot of money patching bleach spots. :-)

Now this really is wierd question for a mountain bike group.

Where else could you degrease a bike and have a ready supply of water for tea brewing and to clean
yourself up! Mike

Patching. I haven't dyed yet. But I suppose it's inevitable....

Yes to all three counts... Also the Kitchen is the bike shop... otherwise it would have to be the bedroom or livingroom...
