removingspray paint with hoppes

Yesterday one of my buddies spray painted a clear butler creek magazine, and then used hoppes to get rid of some of the paint. and now he is really worried about being sick. I told him he was fine but what do you all think

As long as he didn't drink the bottle he will be fine. Small amounts inhaled or absorbed should not be a problem.

Tell him he's a wuss! Us real men drink Hoppes and spraypaint instead of orange juice for breakfast! IAH, unless he did the operation in a paper sack while inhaling deeply, I doubt he's done any lasting harm.

Tell him the next time he wants to take paint off something, use Citra-Solv. It's organic and doesn't give off vapors.

Aftershave

Real gunnies wear Hoppe's #9 Aftershave. It stings a little, but it really gets the wimmen .

Paint is pretty inert. I doubt there is anything in it to react with Hoppes.

See a doctor if it helps him or makes him feel better.

I've used Hoppe's for years and years since a kid with NO ill effects--essentially getting solvent everywhere. Great stuff for gun maintenance AND it leaves them/you with a wonderful, manly, hardcore gun smell.

To the right woman it might be an aphrodisiac !

My Mom and Dad ran a flower shop for 53 years. One time when I was a kid a woman came in and complained about the Hoppes stinking up her house. She asked my Mom if she didn't just hate it. My Mom told the woman that she'd rather smell Hoppes than stale cigarette smoke, beer, and perfume from a bar so maybe she should stop nagging her husband about it. Shut the old bat up in a hurry.

Yes this is dangerous..
Hoppes makes grown men buy more guns and ammo. I use the largest bottle i can find
but now that i am retired my wife don't give me any extra money to buy them...
Ohhhh it also makes you a little bit more crazy and this is due to the banana aroma..
Makes me swing from trees every once in a while and other things that primates do.....

Your buddy is in for trouble..tell him to send me the extra bottle i can dispose of it proper. .

Hoppes #9 and Jet-A. Two of the finest colognes ever invented.
Your friend will be fine. No worries.
