If you can pronounce the chemicals, then you can have one.

Well since the active ingredients (the phenyl and the peroxide) are such a small part of it, you can just add them again, and it'll kick off again.
You might have to dessicate it to suck some of the water the H2O2 turns into, but other than that, it should be OK.
So what do you do with the 7 gallons of naptha and other phenols you stick into your car after you've finished using them?
Edit: And how do you pronounce phenyl?"Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

Yes I do but I'm not just wasting petrol for the sake of it which is my point! We are obviously never going to agree on this one. Perhaps it's all in the amusement value - I didn't find it that amusing.Look on the side of your pop cans. Start reading from where it says: "Contains a source of..."
Never buy them and have more pressing stuff I have to read.

Looked there but nope, wonder if I was unsure what it was and threw it out... it's been a while... I can do it by hand - it'll be fine, best go to my folks and find out what exactly she wanted anyway.Mortgage OP 2025 £6200/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
