Will rice absorb oil?

[Richard Cranium]

I don't know about oil but it absorbs water out of your phone real good when you accidentally fall in the pool...

Which begs the question; how often do you accidentally fall into pools while carrying your phone?

Got anything you need to sand blast maybe rice blasting will work

If so is it worth the hassle?

....so in the military we used to use Uncle Ben instant rice....and or instant potatoes for liquid spills. Since its pre-cooked and already porous, it will grab that oil faster than 74' Elivis to a twinkie.

I use the speedy dri and then clean the stain with Castrol SUPERclean.
I always keep 30 or 40 lbs on the tow truck.

BYW,,,,,,how did you end up with so much rice??

A buddy of mine was cycling out his stash and figured I would donate it but it's already well past the 'sell by' date.....by many years lol

Most likely would need a much bigger nozzle with rice.....

Canadians don’t want it any more then you do.

Jesus, I can't believe there is a thread on this subject.
I split my shop into the dirty side and the clean side.
Throw some NAPA floor dry on the the oil spills on the dirty side and get on with it.

Getting to the dirty/clean side, I do have a dirty area out back. It's a covered 25x25' slab and do a lot of the nasty work back there including welding instead of inside the shop but after almost 36 years, there's plenty of stains.

Well, I'm a LOT closer to the Mexican border than I am the Canadian border so you probably don't have to worry lol

They grow so much rice in Texas they can use it as speedy dry. When planting rice in Texas, they drop the seeds from airplanes.

Got any birds you need to get rid of. It does work great for that.

We're only 5th or 6th in the nation. The not so new Houston Raceway Park was built on a rice field and it bit them in the butt during our first rainy season.

That's why they quit using it at weddings.....and I wouldn't do that. Just not me...

At least I didn't start another thread about the virus

Thank goodness for small miracles



what is there like 50 of them already now ?

maybe some consolidation would be in order ?
I wonder if there's someone here ? that has that power/ability
get all the arguing , negative Nancy BS, opinions, ideology & information
many of which is false/wrong all in 1 or 2 threads
instead of 50
(In the PF & here too)

It would have to go in the political section to lure more gold members

One company I worked at did in their warehouse. After try many other methods it was the only thing that worked. Put it out on Friday night and sweep them up on Monday morning.
