So you ran with your hand over your mouth, but the pressure was too much to contain? Just like that...had both hands over the nozzle and nowhere to run!

Ultrastu Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Best thing to do is dont touchΒ it till it goes hard .its easier to pick off when hrd but if you try to clean it when still wet or soft you will make it 10 x worse.Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
