SURFASOLVE Waterless Hand Wipes offer a unique chemistry not available with conventional solvents or cleaners. SURFASOLVE Hand wipes use a special dual textured non-scratching towel. The biodegradable formula is powerful enough to instantly remove dirt, ink, resins, caulks, tar adhesives, urethanes, paint, dyes, oil grease and just about anything from hands without having to rinse with water

A special dual textured wipe holds the SURFASOLVE Formula and traps the materials being cleaned within the towel. This prevents the materials from being re-deposited back on the skin. SURFASOLVE Hand Wipes have no harsh citrus solvents or alcohols to dry and chap skin. There is no pumice abrasive in the towels which can scratch and dull skin. After just one use, SURFASOLVE Hand Wipes leave hands feeling soft and smooth not to mention it will remove grime from under finger nails! SURFASOLVE Hand Wipes have a pleasant apple scent that is non-offensive. Wipes contain natural beeswax and emollients to enhance moisture retention of skin.

# 71 Styrene Wax is a 5% solution of paraffin dissolved in styrene that may be added to non waxed polyester resins and gel coats to prevent the prolonged tackiness associated with thin sections of polyesters. If the resin contains paraffins, the wax will rise to the surface and protect the curing resin from the inhibiting action of the air. However, if the resin is allowed to fully cure, the paraffins on the surface will prevent adhesion of further coats of resin and must be sanded off prior to additional applications. We recommend adding #71 at 5% for thin coatings. Use with #1040 Hi-Gloss Additive when performing repairs below the water line.
