Title: Xylene for Oz bee's
Post by: 8ball on December 10, 2003, 02:29:00 AM

Painting my house the other day and ran out of thinners to clean brushes, so of i went to the local hardware to purchase some and literally fell arse over tit on a 20 litre drum of dulux CR Reducer. After the succeeding profanities, i said i will also take that, i would hate to see someone hurt themselves.
