It stands for Trisodium Phosphate. It is a heavy duty cleaner. We get it in a powder form from building centers and hardware stores. I'm not sure were else. I haven't look anywhere else for it.

Instructions are on the container on how much TSP to water. Very good stuff to use for prep work.

Hi

Also TSP etches the surface thus giving it "tooth" for the paint to hold to.

Paint is no better than the surface it goes on.

Aside from the roof leak, soft floors, rats, mice and bursted plumbing ........ how do you like it?
