Diggers Methylated Spirits - Solvents and Thinners - Diggers - Image 1
Description

Diggers Methylated Spirits is a denatured alcohol for smear free glass and tile cleaning, sticker glue and paint thinning, in 20 L drums (minimum 4).

What it does

Meths is ethanol of at least 95 per cent with a little water and a denaturant that makes it undrinkable. It dissolves grime, ink and adhesive from hard surfaces and dries without smearing. It blends with water and with hydrocarbon solvents, so it works neat on tough marks or diluted for routine wiping. Diggers also lists thinning paints, lacquers and varnishes and cleaning the brushes used for them.

Where to use it

Windows, mirrors, shower screens, tiles, floors, fridges and appliances. Ink marks on non porous surfaces, label and sticker glue, and painting gear. Fleet crews add it to windscreen washer bottles. Browse more solvents and thinners.

How to use

  1. Cleaning: use it straight or let down with water on glass, ceramics and other hard surfaces, then wipe dry.
  2. Stains and ink: spot test somewhere hidden first, then apply neat or diluted.
  3. Windscreen washer: 100 mL into the washer tank, then fill with water.
  4. Thinning: add to shellac, lacquer or varnish gradually, following the coating maker.

Safe on / avoid

Suits glass, glazed tiles, ceramics, stainless steel and most hard, non porous surfaces. Spot test painted, lacquered or varnished finishes, since meths softens those coatings. Diggers warns against spirit burners because of the risk of serious burns. Keep it clear of flames and hot work. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
