kthack657 258 #1 Posted May 24, 2012 You know something goes wrong when the hubbie comes to the back door (wont come in) and says I need you to run to the store and get kitty litter...I just screwed up the garage floor and my garage shoes...then as I walk outside there is a strong chemical smell...my first thought "did you spill the aircraft grade paint stripper" his response "no I spilt the carb cleaner all over the floor, the garage stinks, and it ate the sealant from the floor." SMH hope it airs out before this weekend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

312Hydro 473 #7 Posted May 25, 2012 Good thing it's on the floor and not you. That carb cleaner is nasty on skin. Don't ask how I know! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimt1971 236 #8 Posted May 25, 2012 I am looking for a gallon of Berryman carb cleaner. The stuff that really stinks but works good. Plus it takes the paint off your garage floor. Thank God this stuff was a little old so it was not a potent as it could have been. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimD 3,345 #11 Posted May 25, 2012 Soounds like a close call. Glad everyone is ok. Maybe you could use a fan or two to draw the fumes out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
