Never tried to pick up brake cleaner to clean something - usually I reach for the acetone (that i can buy from the B&Q equivalent by the gallon over here) but this is pretty scary stuff!

I knew two blokes at BAe who were killed by 111 trichloroethalene. It is scary stuff it can be absorbed through the skin and sits in your liver and kidneys. The fumes can over come you in a blink of an eye. I wont go into the details of what happened but one bloke died trying to save the other and the other men that rushed to help also ended up in hospital. Own the day

seems he was a very lucky bloke really, i can believe that one little bit of smoke did that.
no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

i always find 'easy start' is a big hit with the ladies... "Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

Also, never put brake fliud into an empty beer bottle and leave it in the area where your working whilst drinking beer. I didnt do this of course!

Another one to watch out for is stainless steel pickling solution. Used to clean the welds in stainless. This stuff is bad. The fabricator where i was working a while ago had it on a rag with no gloves on!!!!!!!!

I'm a tig welder in the aerospace industry and use a load of chemicals for various cleaning and acid etching of materials prior to welding. Before I use any chemicals, mix up solutions or even use a chemical I read basic information on what the chemical contains. I get paid for wasting time at work! lol.

wow didn't know that - although I don't think you can buy "proper" brake cleaner any more. AlexF |
