Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted May 15, 2006 Do-have a neutralizer on hand ready for use when applying HD-80 Do-Keep a gallon of vinegar on hand for personal neutralization Do-Pre-wet plants and painted surfaces prior,during and after application to avoid causing problems. Do-wear protective pvc, nitril gloves, goggles, respirator and rubber boots when working with HD-80 Do-Keep curious homeowners inside the home with windows and doors closed in the event the spray drifts in their direction Do-Apply only to the intended surface and avoid application to an adjacent wood surface not intended to be affected. Use plastic masking to help where otherwise it would get on the surface. Do not-play the ignorance card and not follow a safe regimen when using any chems. Do not-Gripe and complain when it gets onto your skin and burns you if you didn't protect yourself with the PPE designated above. Do-take pics, it looks great in your portfolio when talking to new clients. Do-let us know how it goes :) Rod!~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted May 21, 2006 what about using plastic for around wood stained houses? wont it eat through the plastic? You can use it if you have something to attach to with a clamp. It can eat through the plastic if it is sitting on top of it in the case of horizontally. Otherwise, we use formica boards from a tile distributor (use to display tile styles on) to keep any stripper off the wood siding.what is a good respirator to use? A NIOSH n95 will work just fine.
