Usage Instructions
Apply
Use full strength on a dry surface. Use sparingly. (Do not apply to carpets without reading special instruction flyer).
Agitate
You can use an appropriate scrubber or tool. This would include a rag, terry cloth, burlap, nylon or mesh scrub pad, steel wool, scrub brush (e.g., bristles of nylon, polypropylene, or brass) Teflon™ or nylon scraper (such as a fry pan scraper, body filler applicator or old credit card). RINSE Rinse with water. A wet cloth, sponge, garden hose, spray bottle of water, garden sprayer, pressure washer, under a faucet, in a washing machine or dishwasher. Water can be picked up from a floor with a floor squeegee, dustpan and brush, wet/dry vacuum, absorbent material, sponge, carpet extractor or floor scrubber.
Dry
Wipe dry or allow to dry by natural air convection. Or use a heat gun, hair dryer, compressed air, a squeegee, or isopropyl alcohol rinse.
Remove Adhesive Labels, Tape
You can remove markers, tape, self-adhesive labels, appliques and stickers of all kinds. Just apply Oil-Flo 141 to the adhesive and wait a few minutes. If you can pull off the vinyl face of the tape or sticker, the Oil-Flo 141 will dissolve the adhesive quickly. Otherwise you have to wait until the adhesive dissolves as the Oil-Flo 141 migrates under the plastic label face. When you apply Oil-Flo 141 to dried masking tape or paper labels, the Oil-Flo 141 will soak through to the adhesive. Give it time to work.
Clothing Stains
When you get tar, grease, oil or mastic on your clothes you can usually clean this stain by pre-spotting and washing. Simply spray Oil-Flo 141 on the stain, rub the fabric together to dissolve the stain. Then toss it in the washing machine. (If really heavy, apply Oil-Flo 141 and rinse separately under running water first. Reapply Oil-Flo 141 and then launder).
Tape Residue
Remove tape or adhesive residue, whether dried or tacky, including sun-cured tape. Some tapes that can be removed with Oil-Flo 141: Cellophane. Cloth, Double-sided, Duct, Gaffer. Glass filament, Lane marker, Magic", Masking, Pin Striping, Safety, Packaging, Vinyl and lots more.
Labels, Decals And Stickers
Address labels, Bumper stickers. Decals, Hazard labels. Name plates, Price stickers, Product labels, Safety inspection stickers, Signs. Truck and airplane decals. etc. First remove the face material if possible. A heat gun or hair dryer in a corner may help you loosen the face material. Peel it off slowly, holding the material at right angles to the substrate while pulling firmly at a steady rate. Most of the adhesive may come off with the face stock if the procedure is done slowly enough. If the decal or bumper sticker is on so tight that it cannot be grabbed, then apply a bead of Oil-Flo 141 to an exposed edge to begin dissolving the adhesive. If the face stock is aluminum or polyester, for example, you have to remove it to gain access to the underlying adhesive residue. Once you peel back a corner or an edge, apply more Oil-Flo 141, until you can grab the face stock and pull it off.
Converting And Label Manufacturing
Remove adhesive squeeze-out. Also cleans Cutters, Slitters, Re-winders. Cylinders. Rollers, Screens, Knives. Die inserts, Cores. Mounting tape, Lab equipment. Applicators, Glue hoses. Fountain keys. Tanks, Benches, Floors. Test beds, etc. Clean Sticky resins. Cellulose plastic, PVA Binder. Plastic dust, Ink spills and other difficult-to-clean materials.
Solar Film Removal
Remove old adhesive without razor scraping. Even softens face material to assist in removal from windows, including automobile rear windows with heater strips.
Remove Adhesives, Mastic, Cutback, Asphalt, Glue, Etc.
- First remove the old flooring — tile, wood, carpet, glue-down, etc. Apply Oil-Flo 141 by spraying from a trigger sprayer, low-pressure tank-type sprayer or compressed air paint spray cup. Or pour the Oil-Flo 141 onto the floor or mop it on. For best results, brush in with a stiff broom or wire brush. Wait 5 to 30 minutes. Some thick materials may need a longer soak time.
- Scrape up the softened material. A long-handled scraper with an angled blade works best. Sometimes it is better to absorb the liquid with an absorbent such as sawdust, oil-sorb, kitty litter, rags, or shredded newspaper.
- Shovel or scrape waste material into bags or into plastic-lined cartons. If using 5-gallon pails of Oil-Flo, the empty pails (with lids removed) make convenient waste receptacles.
- Rinse or mop clean with water. You will probably need to reapply for complete cleanup. Pick up water with a dustpan and brush, wet/dry vacuum, floor scrubber, carpet extractor, etc.
Remove Flooring Glue From Finished Flooring
- Apply Oil-Flo 141 directly to the dried adhesive.
- Agitate with a soft brush or rag.
- Remove the softened material.
- Using a cloth soaked with plain water to rinse dry. Depending on the material, you can use a mop, rag, or extractor. Oil-Flo 141 needs the water to bond to so it can rinse away cleanly. You don’t need a lot of water, just enough to make the quick bond.
