Strong Paint Stripper

[TechnicAl]

Someone recommended some really strong paint stripper so I bought some off ebay. I used some the other day and left the nearly ful can down the garden. Somethings had a go at it...Any ideas what?

Likely rats.

Somthing with a fair set of gnashers. Look at those puncture marks.

looks like a piece of rat droppings near the handle?

use gloves to handle, and preferably a bucket of bleach to dip your arms to elbows in.

i've HAD wiells disease/leptospirosis.
you dont want it.

Hi, It's to do with the constitution of the plastic nowadays which is very attractive to wild life, it's very tasty. There are cases of them attacking the plastic fuel line under cars and vans.

Doesn't plastic contain palm oil now or something like that ?

Have a look in the can the offender may well be in it.
I have seen bottles of cooking oil with mice floating in it, they eat the plastic lid to get at the oil.

yea the 2 front teeth of squirrel I caught one live in fen trap stuck me foot on it to shoot it and it took a large chunk of leather and rubber off my boot bait round with rat poison or make a tunnel trap up with 2 mk4 fentraps in and bait through it with wild bird food . the squirrel will go in but not the birds I caught 40 in one year at my mates house next to the woods

Whatever it is, I'd recommend not going out after dark.

I'd it's DCM it will probably have evaporated.

If you were lucky enough that it happens during rain, then you may have got a sealing layer of water on top to stop the evaporation, but I suspect this is wishfully thinking.
