    Pyro stain on kitchen counter

    Hi everyone,
    So I get some Max Pyro and give it a try. Looks strange & cool. Never used pyro before... then ....

    ... I left Giant rings, drips & stains on the formica. I am in Big trouble with you-know-who. Big.

    Sending up a flair here ... Help!

    The Pyro devs are fairly toxic, so be certain to clean up well, especially if little hands are around.

    Try Sodium Hypchlorite bleach, if that doesn't work wait for the divorce papers

    On the other hand it might be just the excuse needed to make you pay for a new kitchen

    I can see into the future......yes.....I see new granite countertop in your kitchen...
    Then it's only fair to get to build your own darkroom!
    Best of luck with that....

    Uh, tell her hit's grape juice, or worstershire sauce (sp) or tobacco juice; hell, tell her it is a combination of all 3 and ask her if she would like try some!

    Just wait until you try Amidol.

    I haven't tried Max Pyro, but the stay could be from Amidol in the developer. I'm betting it's in there and an Amidol stain trumps a pyro stain. If you-know-who uses hair dye, then that is where the stain is from.

    Try hydrogen peroxide to remove the stain.

    I've stained my kitchen cupboards from some very tiny PMK splatters. It doesn't come off very well!! I guess they needed a new coat of paint anyway....

    Why do you have chemicals--especially ones which are significantly toxic--in the kitchen? Really, there must be other places to do this. I lived in a tiny NYC apartment for many years, and never used the kitchen for chemicals, even relatively harmless ones.
