OT: dumpster dive and water/mold cleanup

Brasso, like the same stuff (wadding with smelly petrolueum compounds) that
I used on my uniform brass in Army ROTC and in the active duty AF world to
polish brass knobs (AF uniform "brass" was silverplate and didn't need
Brasso)? Hmm...didn't know it was a non-US product. I also didn't know it
was good for paint, thought it might do badly on the paint like a solvent.

Definitely British, by Reckitt and Colman, by appointment to Her Majesty
Queen Elizabeth II. Sold all over Europe...
Sevenpence ha'penny a tin in 1939 acccording to the Army and Navy catalogue!

Good for rejuvenating tired paint and plastic as well.
