i just pick them out (no gloves):woot:
nice cool feeling and lovely if you have a cut :thumbsup:...

Lol, I guess it's like getting super glue in a cut :D
So pick em out and rinse off in warm water? Anyone tried whacking them in a dishwasher, or will that be too hot?

Cheers mate, ill try that. I take it yellow and white wheels should be ok together? Or are they not colourfast? :lol:

I found yellow wheels made the acetone yellow and made white wheels done in it after look like you'd dyed them in piss. I think Mossy likes this look :o

Need some fresh to replace the 4 year old stuff thats gone brown.

Acetone can be bought from any decent paint shop [ try one that does car paint ] in metal containers.
I have used the same container for years which is old emulsion bucket I bought some paint in.

nps Ian ill have loads with me at kiddy, have 30 ltrs in 5 ltr tubs and 4 big 20 ltr bucket totally air tight.
As fare as cleaning them after, as long as you rinse them of in hot soapy water nps at all, i have even been able to re use some tyre's, not all like the stuff proline don't like it they swell up and go even softer,
but as for yellow wheels changing colour or dye running out of them, with my stuff i have never had a problem.
