TSP isn’t what it was before they outlawed psophates. Now it’s just another soap.

How can they sell trisodium phosphate if it’s not? Right here at my HomeDepot. Maybe weaker?
Solvable Professional Grade TSP (trisodium phosphate) effectively prepares surfaces for painting

While I wouldn’t consider myself a klutz, there is that occasion where a drop or two of VG or PG will get away from me and the textured surface on this scale makes it a PITA to clean up (and putting unnecessary pressure on a precision instrument can’t be a good thing.) Enter a simple PVC disc. Spill something? Just grab the disc and rinse it off in the sink.

TSP was deemed harmful by the Environmental Protection Agency in 2011 and is listed as a “hazardous substance” under the agency’s Clean Water Act.
They reformulated the product after the ban. It was one heck of a product before the reformulation. It would cut any sticky grease simply by wiping and rinsing. After the reformulation the product was never the same at least the US. Canada I don’t know.

*Up here under the description it shows ‘Toxicity: Toxic’ *
I’ll keep it in mind, I’m sure the boss will be gearing up soon, after buying 12 yards of cloth the other day.
Thanks for the head’s up.

The kiss of death for me, here in the US, was not in the preparation for paint adhesion but the product itself. In the US the Clean Air Act eliminated the use of oil base paints in automotive interior’s. My business was a route business repairing auto interiors. Water base became only product to used on auto interiors and it never bonded only coating plastics not allowing putting the grains back on plastic surfaces after painting. Repairing leather surfaces was easy because it didn’t require graining to hide imperfections…

I’m done. I think it’s good enough. I’m fed up with it. I still have to do the wall.
There’s a couple of deer spray painted on the stairs too. It will make me think of @D.Sims He’s thinking, ‘oh dear, I hope she makes it up safely’, every time he sees a picture of it.

Maybe you should see the top @D.Sims. You can’t see that from the other pictures.
It’s actually underneath the top floor.
Now he’s going to tell me the whole floor will be coming down.

Only the picture, or the state of the staircase too?

That picture shows that the staircase actually has more structure than it appeared in the other pics.

I’ve got a spirally staircase like yours Josephine, except I can see into my basement (right into 2 cat litterboxes) from my second floor

No basement here, just a cat, a dog and some birds.
They threw away my litter box when I moved house, idiots. I’m using a carton box atm, it’s got BUTCHERY written on it.

I mixed some recipes yesterday for the first time in a year. I haven’t been well and I finally had the energy. All I’ve done is make 4 ADVs from one-shots I put together about every two months. It made me smile. Now, I’ve got to try them.
