"Cleanup using Gunge etc"
Hi all,
Sorry if this has already been answered but I wasn't able to find one.
I thinking of using Gunge and perhaps even paint, I was wondering the best way to clean up etc.
My thought was to use a large paddling pool and line it with a plastic sheet, so once I'm done I can pickup the sheet with the gunge in and throw it away etc.
Are there any other ideas? I want it to be super messy but not sure how to handle clean-up.
** Side Note, has anyone used gloss paint, does it actually come off your skin hair etc?
Many thanks

Not sure about paint as it will vary greatly depending on what kind of paint, but gunge is very easy to dispose of. Just dilute it with water and it will go down the drain very easily. I made a 3 gallon bucket of hydroxyethylcellulose over rhe weekend and disposed of it in the shower with no problems whatsoever.

A pool lined with a large plastic sheet can work, but you need the sheet to be significantly larger than the pool, and allow for your movement pulling the sheet edges into the pool (at which point the gunge flows over it and the pool gets messy). Both sheet and pool probably want to be securely tapped in position. And don't rely on the cheap plastic "dust sheets" they sell in hardware stores, those tear very easily and will disintegrate if you try and lift the gunge out in one, you want the much heavier duty "temporary window" or "damp proof course" plastics, B&Q sell rolls of them.
I'd be very wary of paint. Emulsion is probably OK as long as contact isn't prolonged, and keep it away from eyes, nose, and mouth, I'd avoid gloss paint totally, traditionally that was oil-based and contained all kinds of nasties, I gather there is now water-based gloss but I'd still be wary of it, read the ingredients lists very carefully. The safest would be kid-safe poster paint, which is designed to be harmless even if swallowed, but may be costly.

Gloss paint you're well into the danger zone. Its usually oil based and a right bastard to clean off hands/paintbrushes- let alone a full coating. You usually need white spirits or a similar solvent to lift it, when then comes with its own chemical risks on top of the aforementioned risks with the paint itself.
The best paint is children's poster paint (tempura paint), its designed to be washable and non toxic.
"Gunge" is easier to clean up than paint. It can still take a few hours to clean up after a proper session mind- so be sure to plan your time accordingly.
(As my profile pic suggests, I like thick gunge and I cannot lie! And a lot of it at that too!!)
Paddling pools are very good for containment. Stick dust sheets on any surface you don't want to wipe down. (it splats EVERYWHERE).
I've never lined the inside of the pool- I scoop the gunge out back into a bucket (and go again!!), and when I'm finished I dilute it 50-50 with water and pour down the toilet. (not even full dilution- I just swish my hand through to break the gunge into suspended lumps).
I advise against sticking gunge in a bin, liquids in the bin are guaranteed to leak- giving you a much less fun mess to deal with.
Bin liners in general aren't fully watertight at the seams, you may want to double bag anything messy before you bin it.
A plastic dustpan is very good at scooping-scraping gunge off/out of anywhere. After that the pool can be rinsed/wiped down.
Dried on gunge takes a bit of elbow grease to shift. Sponge scourers and dishwashing liquid are your friends here.

The gunge they sell at the wonderful Messysupplies.com is very easily cleaned away. People often ask me about the black paint I've used, and wether it stains hair and skin etc. School grade poster paint is the one to use, and if you're worried about staining try a small patch on an area of skin etc and leave for a hour. I had no trouble washing away the paint despite getting totally covered, just use lots of soap and patience, maybe gentle use of a kitchen scouring sponge too. The only real difficulty was getting it out of my eyelids, plus the stinging of the soap. Poster paint is easily found in 5l tubs on Amazon.
I'm not really a fan of paddling pools for some reason. Maybe I've always thought the walls and corners make cleaning tricky, which is why I go for a tarp covered double mattress. Whatever method you choose I'd recommend you set aside lots more time for clean-up than maybe you think. A carpet to the bathroom using bits of old carpet or similar is a good idea, plus carrier bags on the feet. Used mess can be watered down and poured down the loo and left over stuff can be scraped or sponged up etc. I always do a checklist , but then I'm usually trying to hide any trace of evidence!

Funny that I'm now sharing this pic for the second time today but putting down plastic painters sheets is the easiest. Duct tape them to the floor. Duct tape it to itself if you need two sheets (like I do when I do the walls with the floor. Pics for reference. All plastic just rolls up into a ball at the end.
