OT: Ivy "feet" adhesive removal

Buerste · 2010-04-14T14:21:45+00:00

Ivy can be very destructive and I'm amazed at the tenacity of those little glue pads. I've talked to a lot of people and looked for a good way to remove them from various surfaces with no luck. The worst is vinyl siding. Has the DOD looked into this adhesive? (no, a wire brush is NOT a good way to go!)Other than some minor electrical work, replacing a sagging beam and installing a post in the basement, the sale of the old house is a done deal. I had it on the market for a grand total of 12 days before a young couple with kids made an offer and they accepted my counter in a few hours. The house will suite them very well and they can just move in, everything is fresh. But, those ivy feet look terrible on the front porch.

I read a lot of old books, and had a great record library at the AFRTS radio & TV station I worked at in the '70s. I collect early EE textbooks, and other books on early electronics, and spend some time at Project Gutenberg looking for old books to reread. :)
