[APD] Re: Campho phonic(sp) in tank
Rik
If you haven't been able to remove the Campho-Phenique from your tank yet,
try using USP Mineral Oil rubbed in vigorously. When Debbie Dowding posted
the list of ingredients I checked the Merck Index for each and found that
each is soluble in Mineral Oil. The Camphorated Menthol is probably a
mixture of Camphor and Menthol crushed together which causes the Camphor to
liquefy. Menthol is freely soluble in Mineral Oil. Eucalyptus Oil also has a
camphorous smell and is miscible with oils and fats. The common denominator
is the Mineral Oil. Use it repeatedly until removed, then use a strong
detergent to remove the oil.
If this doesn't work, try your paint store for the solvent
Trichloroethylene. It is used in Dry Cleaning. If you do use it make sure to
follow the instructions on the label. I know they will say to use with
adequate ventilation. Read that as outdoors. Use Neoprene gloves.
