Painter1 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 I’m looking for some sort of material that will act as a solvent to flush out a ShootingStar dual pot system. It sits for fairly long periods between uses and I think it needs to be as clean as all my other tools when i’m finished. I want to flush it clean and then pull a bit of light lubricant through it before putting back on the shelf. As always, I appreciate your thoughts.

Frank Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Go to an Autobody supply shop and get Wax and grease remover. Works like a charm and never softens or melts the plastic. It will just roll off and clean up nicely. It is a form of safety solvent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painter1 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Thanks, Frank. Do you leave it in the pot & tubes between uses? Do you heat the pot at all with the solvent in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 I have a sprayer with it in it and just spray it and wipe it out. It will just roll up and not stick again. I don’t have an ultra molds pot so don’t know how hard it is to clean that out but it will make it easier if the stuff does not melt down the plastic and restock it to everything again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
