I'm on target to use 7 or more gallon cans too..

and a pair of marigolds will stop you burning your hands. I stole a
fetching purple pair out of the kitchen! (normal mechanics latex
gloves will not stop nitromors)

I wear a long sleeved top and my glasses while i'm nitromosing too.
Makes it much less painfull!

empty nitromors cans before i took em too the tip too..

5 hours to that point, but on the other side.
YMMV

Yeah, my "othahalf" suffered the same fault. To fix the problem it
was suggested I buy a 2 seater soft-top. So I (naturally) got a GS.

Sour Grapes, it seems, make for the finest whine...

yeah, twas here. brackets are not nice in URLs...

not as bad as the smartgroups photo hosting bit which insists on replacing
underscores with spaces. I've told them about it several times, but it
still does it.

I must have been half asleep when i posted it - agent didnt parse it
properly here either!. Nor will a lot of web based bulletin board
software (from experience).
I keep using that ms powertoy thingy to resize photos as its so easy,
and it puts the brackets in there for you. Then i forget to take em
out!

I found that the "marigolds" from the kitchen here didn't stop
nitromors when doing a timber door. Better than nothing but after half
an hour or so I could feel the stuff starting to burn me. If I was to
do any more I try the "rubber" dipped cotton gloves I have now. They
are supposed to be chemical resistant.
