How do you use your foreshots?

[Swedish Pride]

I use it as windscreen cleaner too, albeit diluted to 30ish

[Easydrinker]

Bravo!
That man deserves the first bottle produced in said shed.

He doesn't drink - but has become a bit obsessed with finding new uses for foreshots, latest being a spray of it in his car to de-ice the windows, not sure how the rubber seals will feel about it

Not casting aspersions in yer dad's direction, there was a guy on the old site used it as deodorant.

Robert.

[Easydrinker]

Almost forgot, for guys that wet shave, it is leaving a wet blade and the subsequent oxidation that takes place that takes the edge.
Some dunk/store their razors in rubbing alcohol.
Fores may work too?

Robert.

For shooters... Cleans chokes and barrels very well.

Could it be fuel in a hand warmer?

[Swedish Pride]

I used it to make tea and toast in a recent power outage.

Just needed to make a penny stove, and who doesn't like to make a penny stoves

my daughter makes and maintains theatre costumes and uses it watered down with a drop of zoflora to deodourise all the costumes that can't be washed, saved her loads of money on vodka over panto season

[Mash]

And I thought that smell in a theater came from the bar !!

[Easydrinker]

It will get wet/dry tar off car paintwork quite well.
The resultant tissues or rags make good firelighters.

Nice one Jenny.

Sticky stuff remover

It's pretty good for getting rid of glue residue from labels etc

[EchoSevenNine]

I spray it on timber to raise the grain before final sanding. Raises it just like water, but you can flash it off with a lighter afterwards.

That's a neat use.

this weekend we've been using it with wire wool to strip the varnish off the fiddley bits and a staircase, works really well and doesn't screw with my lungs or poison cats - loving the multitude of uses and zero waste ethos -

[Easydrinker]

The fumes may send the cats to pussy heaven?
My cat is on 'friendly' pheremones, to stop him fighting a neighbours cat.
I don't buy them so don't care if they work or not.
I seem more chillaxed since plugging them in!

Robert.

[jacquie]

i have a neighbour who could benefit from some friendly pheremones do they do people plug in ones too

[Easydrinker]

Oh, that life was so simple!
Bloody human rights wallahs would be campaigning on the streets.

[Boozoid]

I bought a small cheap camping stove, it can run on alcohol. or pretty much anything .. petrol, diesel, paraffin, turps

Its nice to use it the stuff rather than disposing of it.

[Jennysgin]

That's pretty cool Boozoid! Does it regulate the speed it burns at? Alcohol always seems to go up with a *whooomff* (that being a technical term of course! )

[Easydrinker]

That is pretty neat, looks like a component from the Tardis!

Robert.

[Mash]

Is that a Chinese copy of a Coleman?

Probably the best stove in the world. The pipe that goes through the flame is the generator. It boils the liquid and the gas is burnt.

[Boozoid]

Yes, you can regulate the flame from fierce to simmer. It can boil 1L in just over 3mins on full chat.
It is Chinese and certainly has a lot of copied similarities with some of Coleman’s like the M1942 and 442.
The quality is pretty damn good, especially considering the £33 delivered price tag. It comes multi-fuel, but you can buy different sized jets if you want to make it more efficient on one particular fuel type.

[Mash]

I have always been a fan of these. Brilliant stove.

[Boozoid]

Given the lack of hand sanitiser ..... I think I have a new use
