Re: OT - Accidental spray of Thompson Water Seal

Hello,
My guess from over spraying plants w/ oil paint and laquer is that the plant will survive but it will lose all of its folige first....but hard to say...varies on the strenght and condition of the plant.....I have always ben lucky in cases like this....shelter the new growth from too much sun.....

were accidentally hit.  I tried to rinse them off with poor result.
Anything else I can do?  What are their chances of survival?

Hard to say. According to the Material Safety Data Sheet for the product is is 75-80% by weight petroleum naphtha. Perhaps on the foliage will be effected if not much got on the surrounding soil to drench it. Best just keep you eye on them and perhaps shield them from too much sun for a few weeks.

Any other thoughts?
