looking like clay is this a mortar/lime mix i think the lime will eat/corrode the layer of laquer as most paints on vehicles are water based and the paint on cement lorries is normally a 2 pack epoxy and isnt harmed too much by cleaners, acids ,brick clean as you prob know some bird poop will eat into the laquer. chris

thanks for the replies about a year ago we had red diesel on a site which was contaminated with a bug apparently this lives in diesel has anybody heard of this or is it rubbish, chris

as the topic says where does this egg yoke substance come from i cleaned the sedimenter about 9 months ago. and today ive got about an inch of this muck which does appear to float on the diesel, so my question is does this jelly come from the diesel or is there more in my tank does anybody get this thanks. chris

Slightly OT: Ifor williams vs Indespension
pinny replied to landybear's topic in International Forum
personally i would go for the ifor williams having towed one for about a year with a 1.5t mini digger only prob had was a tyre burst used an indispension for a while not as strong build and did appear to flex more but having said that the ad2000 is a sturdy trailer check out indespension for some good shand deals at the moment chris -

The Meck Lock System from MUD UK / defender Security

we have these fitted to our tracked excavators on the servo controls so the machine wont move simple piece of kit but effective .chris -
as les said plasticoat is ok but you need a lot of coats to get a decent finish when i left school i worked as an industrial paint sprayer/shotblaster if you have the time get them sandblasted and a decent 2 pack high build primer and go from there,many 2 packs will take cellulose without the need for a barcoat look at wj leigh paint manufactuers for some info on different epoxy paints
