Oil sucking powder

[jthwan22]

While I was working on my 911, I accidently knocked over bottle of oil. I frantically tried
to mop up the oil w/ paper towels and saw dust but the oil had already soak into the
pores of the concrete. Just then my brother in law handed me a small bottle of micronized
cellulose powder. He sprinkle a little bit onto the spill, worked it in with a broom. Oil
was instantly cleaned out of the concrete pores. The oil soaked powder was then picked up
with a shop vac.

I was amazed how much better it worked compared to saw dust. He explained to me that due to
size of the particle, which is in the microns, and the porousness of the particle, this
cellulose can out absorbed saw dust, which is also cellulose. He said he had a some of this
material lying around, if any one of my friends wants to try this he will give it to them
for free. Just to find out how well it really works. He said he can spare about 50 sets
of 1/2 lb samples for people to try. For your information, the oil spill that I had only
took a bit over an oz of the material, 1/2 lb sample will last a long time.

If you are interested in the stuff. Contact me and I will have him shipped you some.

Try the oil spill stuff available at any auto parts store (looks like kitty litter, and may in fact be kitty litter at a markup). Works amazingly well.

Even does wonders for old oil stains that look deep and dry.

This is one of the few products that truly exceeds my expecations.

To finish off the last little bit, shoot some Castrol purple power on the stain and hit it with a pressure washer. Like new.

Actually I DO use kitty litter. The cheapest stuff I can find in a grocery store works great. I buy a big box and it lasts for a year or more unless I really make a mess.

This sounds a little like an ad if you ask me. But at any rate the white powder he speaks of is simply volcanic ash. It is fluffy, white and light. It does indeed work much better than kitty litter and can be sourced from any indutrial supply house or I am sure online somewhere. We use ULTRASORB here in our factory and it is pretty great but the key is to work it into the spill a little with a broom. You cant even see where the spill was when you are done. Hope this helps.
