    I didn't realise ABS was harmful, had seen it being cut with a laser and assumed it was safe!

    Well, I just tried the Krud Cutter that I bought at HD a couple weeks ago. O.M.G! It works like gangbusters! I spread some heavy foil out in the bottom of my cabinet to catch the droppings. Then I sprayed the bed base with a generous layer and let it sit for about 10 minutes. When I wiped it with a crumpled paper towel, nearly all of the resin and tar from the smoke simply wiped away. Only where the laser had gone through the material and hit the bed and burned the residue into the aluminum was left. I sprayed it again and waited another 10 minutes. Then got a sponge and scrubbed it. Most came off. Still left are some of the lines. I fear those won't ever come off.

    I took the honeycomb outside and sprayed it with krud cutter and let it sit for a few minutes. When I hit it with the garden hose, well, it looks brand new. Seriously. Bright and shiny and clean.

    I can testify, the stuff works and works WELL! And it does not appear to be corrosive at all to aluminum. The cells of the honeycomb are still mirror bright.

    There's a load of KK products here http://www.krudkutter.co.uk/
    and https://www.thedecoratingstore.co.uk...FQ_KtAodbTMAYQ

    Don't know which one is the one to use, can someone recommend which type??

    I guess we will be getting the usual rip-off UK pricing but its a start just google Krud Kutter

    Hi Graham,

    I use the Krud Cutter for the US...get it brought over as my family go over 3-4 times a year, so get them to bring be back a bottle every time. Works great, but have found it is becoming less effective as the table gets worse. I am due a new table soon, so see how that goes. It is the original you want and a tenner is worth every penny. I have also used the outdoor metal version which works too.

    Just for reference for those that are trying it for the first time. The longer you leave it, the better it does, so letting it sit for a couple minutes (or longer) vs. spraying it on and wiping or rinsing it off immediately will yield two completely different results. We bought a big plastic tub and we fill it with hot water and Krud Kutter and let it soak over night every so often.

    just my luck that the decorating store from the link above have said they can no longer stock Krud Kutter products as they do not pass eu regulations.

    Back to the drawing board then
