Question:

What does it mean if something (such as a fire extinguisher) does not meet commercial compliance codes?

I am trying do buy a fire extinguisher for home safety, and I've done a lot of research on different types of fire extinguishers and how they work and what not, and the dry chemical fire extinguisher seems pretty safe. It uses pressurized sodium bicarbonate to put out fires (which is just household baking soda).However, on websites that sell this kind of fire extinguisher there is always a sentence in the description that reads Disposable fire extinguishers do not meet commercial compliance codes.You may want to look for yourself (last sentence of description):

Answer:

Acetone, varsol, paint thinner.
Whatever you do, TRY IT ON before you buy it. Wear it around the shop for at least 15 minutes if you can. Helmets are not like shoes, there is no size standard. A 7 shoe fits like any other 7 shoe, ain't that way with helmets. No one can tell you which one to buy, that's your call as to which one you like the best. About the only direction is. Most sport bikes go with a full face, most cruisers use a open face or half helmet
I'm a Texas cop. It is legal. You don't have any right to privacy on the road. It wouldn't hurt anything to call the local police and make them aware of this guy. Some places will just tell you it's not illegal but a decent department would have an officer at least talk to the neighbor and let him know he is being watched.
Very, very carefully with either acetone (explosive vapors but otherwise a relatively benign chemical) or MEK (Methyl-Ethyl-Ketone) (nasty chemical) - old-fashioned paint remover. One or another of the above should combine with the resin to dissolve it and remove it from the wood - along with any other finishes. Use chemical resistent gloves. Use very good ventilation. Remove any sources of flame or ignition. Dispose of the waste as hazardous. You might also just remove what you can with a scraper, brush on a hardener to cure the remaining resin (available from any auto-supply store) and then sand and repaint the shelf. There are many fewer hazardous chemicals this way. Good luck with it.
