[Ansteorra] Stain

[Charles]

If you have an ICI or Sherwin Williams paint store in your area try to get
what's called T-17 thinner. it's a specialty thinner for poly based paints.
Be sure to test it on a small area ( preferable some scrap material ) before
dousing your garment in it. The stretch velour makes me believe this won't
work because I'm betting it's got a plastic base but since I'm not a
specialist in material make up I'm not sure. But take this knowledge and
check with others who DO know before trying it. I can assure you though that
if the materiel will hold up to it, it's a product that WILL remove that
water proof, soap proof, mineral proof, nuclear grade grease that they use
on those escalators.
Hope this helps, In service, Elrique
