Yes I drunk some

 

Why?

 

Tipped some out into the cap, used it, tipped back into the bottle

 

Then I had a drink of cider.

 

Funny taste

 

Yes I tipped a few ml into my cider

 

Seems OK after I dug the white lumps out.

 

Cannot find any safety guides on the stuff.

That's unfortunate. I'd suggest drinking plenty of milk and / or water to try to dilute the effects.

 

I reckon I have drunk about a teaspoon full and there is no health warnings on the bottle

For those not in the know, Johnson’s Klear is/was a water-based, soluble acrylic varnish / polish

 

 

Acryllic varnish

If it's any help Father jack once drank a bottle of floor polish and survived so you should be ok

 

It just slowed his metabolism down and bought about all the Simpsons of death such as rigamortis and decay but the effects wore off after a couple of days

The instruction for not drinking anything is specifically related to if they are unconscious, not to the issue of the substance ingested.

 

I think the advice to contact NHS 111 is the right one. While I would not want to put any pressure on A&E, if you can't get a result from 111, get to A&E. While the amount you've taken is small, it's a chemical and any amount could be a risk.

In an absent minded moment I swallowed some white spirit a while back which her indoors had helpfully left in a glass and I then made the mistake of thinking it was water.

I found Sauvignon Blanc to be a very effective neutralising agent. In your own situation some Thatchers may well be in order.

He also managed to drink an entire bottle of Dreamy Sleepy Nighty Snoozy Snooze.

You need to extend the underlining a bit, it actually says-

 

 Do not give victim anything to drink if they are unconscious

 

Selective quoting can be very dangerous.

I think I have the Ebola virus, any suggestions lads?

Oh I had a problem with a coupling on a Lima 31 but I dialed 111 for that!!!

 

If you have a potentially serious medical condition you get immediate help ,not debate it on a model railway forum

I asked here because a lot of us use it

 

2 pints of water

1/2 pint tea

 

Seem fine, but funny taste in mouth from the small amount which went in.

 

111 said I am OK, I had less than 1% of a lethal dose


Did you polish off the rest of the cider?

 

I had to tip it!

Reminds me of a Thread long ago on RMweb about how to pick up broken,raw egg off a floor. It quite tickled the OP how many respondants assumed he had just left the egg on the floor, & logged onto RMweb to seek advice. ;)
