Just because an ingredient originates from a "natural" source (ie. an orange), it isn't necessarily innocuous. For example, in dentistry, we from time to time, use "Orange Solvent" to get hardened cement etc off our tools. "Orange Solvent" is also derived from oranges. It's pretty toxic stuff. Cheers, Mike

xray,xray,xray,is that all you could tell us about Citistrip-orange peels-This is what I mean when I say that your going around in circles "Sounds pretty safe to me. It probably has a label that is non-threatening as the one posted much earlier for the Ameristrip product (http://www.ameristrip.com)." It doesn't matter what it sounds like to you-what did they say! What do you mean-"It probably has a label that is non-threatening" This is your opinion-what did Citristrip say! Does Citristrip conforms to both McDonnell Douglas and Boeing specs for removing paint from aluminum surfaces and high-strength steel components? Do they have a patent for thier orange peel product? Is ICI interested in Citristrip or NApier products? XRAY-AGAIN- READ THE THIRD LINE(produces fewer toxic vapors) We've tried two that were quite effective: Woodfinisher's Pride and Citristrip. Both are based on n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), which is nonflammable and produces fewer toxic vapors. (Citristrip also contains d-limonene, a citrus-scented solvent; it actually smells nice.) They're not cheap, and they take much longer to work than traditional strippers. But we recommend them since the old, methylene chloride strippers offer speed at the expense of health: They're both carcinogenic and narcotic. Citristrip: 810-340-0400. Woodfinisher's: 901-775-0100. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Directory: "Green" paint strippers: Citristrip, 32-oz. bottle, $12; Specialty Environmental Technologies, 4520 Glenmeade Lane, Auburn Hills, MI 48326; 810-340-0400.
