yokine9a 1 Report post Posted August 6, 2008 Bro MaCe, got a chinese name for this Acetone or not? I ever asked Patrick what to use to wipe off the paint on my aluminium windows frame, he said "Spirit", or in chinese "Fire Water". Is Spirit the same as Acetone?

apprye 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2008 MaCe, Any advise on how to prevent the stainless steel shelves for the shower from rusting? Bought the corner shelves from Hoe Kee and after using for less than 2 weeks, I discovered rust spots already!! Must be lower grade of Stainless Steel... Paid double to get the SS shelves when compared to the chrome plated ones to avoid the peeling and tarnishing and now, it's rusting away... Must remember to wipe the shelves dry after showering each time now.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmartFool 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2008 ok thanks for the update cos i think most of us face the same problem nowadays esp since sales people may also tell u its 18/10 and its only 18/8 and if u pay for 18/10 the pxs may be even more hefty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Acetone ; speek a la hokkien style = AH SEE TONE those paintshops that sells ONLY PAINT definitely have this. any hardwareshop sells fire water / huay jiu. though some will give you THINNER instead. Spirit is not as strong as acetone...acetone can melt plastics. never use it on plastic/fabrics/painted surface. since its 18/8, possible to use those rust removing agents? will it help? something like WD40 kind actually i asking cos this problem persists in my parents home as well so i am hoping to avoid same thing for my place WD40 don work on rust removal. use the kleen king powder form.

patsy_sg 1 Report post Posted August 6, 2008 if you guys like those stainless stell kitchen baskets, consider the Song Cho brand, I used them for my old house and after 10 years, no rust no discoloration at all! They're a bit pricey but you won't face this problem again. apprye, try stainless steel polish (3M brand) to protect your stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
