Using Harpic 10x (Hydrochloric acid based) to clean downpipes...

Your grass needs cutting 

Your right but I missed the last brown bin collection so I have nowhere to put the cuttings till next week 😅

Funny you should say that as I only do it around once a month anyway (it was last done the first week of lockdown) and I regularly have honey bees in my back yard.
Seen quite a lot already this year but really noticed more of the hoverflys recently. Must have 6 or 7 hovering about my garden at any one time 🤔

yes hoverflys, they are normal here at sharp hall but I too have noticed them more, and massive blimp size bumble bees.
The planes are not spraying the climate chems into sky now

So did you manage to complete the experiment Graham?
I'm rather interested in the results as I removed my headers the other day so now have the opportunity to give then a proper clean.
Would be nice to get them as close to 'new' looking as possible

I haven't even had time to start it yet!

Seriously, I've been busy with work stuff (making product, plus creating "virtual market stall" videos etc), that I've not even had a chance to start cleaning the pipes, let alone waiting to see if they corrode...

I used this on the downpipe on a CG125 I had and it worked great,I was that impressed I decided to clean up some pots and pans that we'd had for years,ended up staining the lot,they looked terrible   so great for bike pipes but I'd watch it on some metals.
