<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: black;">I wanted to <b>caution</b> everyone about using aluminum with methylene
chloride. I found this warning on the OSHA website:</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: red;"> </span></p>

<p><b><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: red;">Do not use aluminum in any equipment used to handle, store, or
process MC. MC corrodes aluminum. If aluminum parts fail, spills will </span></b><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: red;">occur.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: black;"> </span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: black;">Not only did I read this warning, there were many sites that had
information about the reaction of MC and aluminum and in many cases sources
stated that the reaction of the two could cause corrosive acid fumes
(especially in warmer temperatures) that could be potentially dangerous.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: black;"> </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: black;">I understand that the aluminum pan is not meant to touch the poultice
but if it would drip/fall onto the aluminum and react over a period of time it
could be hazardous.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: black;"> </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: black;">I recommend researching all chemicals before using them to
understand possible reactions.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: black;"> </span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: black;">Best Regards,</span></p>

I use a stripper from Aldon Chemicals called Premium Stripper it comes in a
jell like consistency and works well when making a poultice. You can probably
find something similar locally. I use a disposable aluminum baking pan to cover
the poultice. Inside the pan I use an absorbent roll and place it along the
bottom, like the rolls used to contain a spill. Tape it to the wall and you
should be good to go.</span></p>

is a possibility- My issue is how to place it on the wall though- The solvent

<p><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">I think you may need to make a
poultice using methylene  chloride to remove the rest of the silicone.
 Mix up your poultice using DE powder and the Methylene Chlorides into a
paste like you would any other poultice and cover the spot completely. Be sure
to cover the poultice with plastic and make sure NO one gets into this poultice.
Put some small holes into the plastics so the poultice and dry.  Let the
poultice work for at least 24 to 36 hour and then remove it . Clean the area
using a neutral cleaner. Let the surface dry , this could take a day or two,
with any luck when you return the stain will be gone.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Caution,  if there are
children, pets, or the area is open to the general public be sure to cover the
poultice completely where no one can get into the poultice. </span></p>
