Mulberry juice

Nov 28, 2004 1 Replies

Yesterday as I wandered down to my workshop, I stopped at the mulberry tree and enjoyed a few juicy berries.



Later I painted a few engine parts with both oil based paints and lacquer, leaving, as usual, a generous residue on my hands.



Then I worked for a while cleaning up a very old greasy motor bike chain.



Then I cleaned my hands with my favourite hand-cleaner paste.



They emerged perfectly clean, except for the mulberry stains!



Can we put this to some good use - an ever-lasting non-destructible mulberry-based paint for our machinery?

Only if the machinery is, like your hands, organic. Vegetable stains work well on wood and natural fibres but are generally somewhat fugitive. ttfn Roland
