    Had my primer in a pot, knocked it off the window sill like a total oaf and then did the really helpful flinging arms around trying to catch it but just chucking it all over the room (looked about as graceful as a wounded buffalo). Cleaned it all up but when I took my sheets off the bath to tidy up at the end of the day, found some that had run into it.

    Was hoping that there was some secret trick to getting it off (apart from not being a pratt and getting it in there in the first place)

    get a hold off a chefs/bakers plastic scraper the one with rounded edges for cutting dough etc

    these are flexible enough yet tough enough to clean the curved baths down without marking them

    and some nice warm water too

    ps mind and stick yer speedos on

    I was on a job Saturday(had a few jobs on).
    I noticed two scrapes on the nice porcelain floor which I showed to the customer.
    I had tiled this lovely bathroom a few weeks back.
    The customer blamed the spark, he had a ladder with wore out rubbers on feet.
    We tried various things to remove the scrapes, no joy.
    Anyway this guy owned a local shop and said he'd go get whatever I want or think will remove it!!
    I said vinegar..... Unbelievable, I put it on the scrapes and let sit for 20 secs.
    Worked superbly. Ye ha.
    Strong stuff. Made me hungry though, lol.
