Thread: Parts Washing Tank Solvent

Tweet

A bit of info for those who have spent many years dipping your hands and arms into something your predecessors did for many years.......the objects you use can create problems that your finances and family can't afford. I am telling you from experience, don't use anything without facial and epideral covering. The constant use wit no protection will, not can, lead to medical, health and legal problems. I am not that old in years of repeated use. My father is suffering, I too have afflictions I was not aware of because of the constant use of these mineral based substances. It causes organs to transform their output in protection against traumas and exsistant day to day protection experiencing skin melanommas and got arrested for DUI when I have been stone cold sober because the methyl content in the blood causes the BAC count to go thru the roof upon testing. Bewareof anything that sounds as simple as working on a refinishing project for your house and/or the boat projects that you may be working on. Todays stuff 9acetone, mek etc) smptoms that you can't xplain to the authorities what caused the rise in the count.....court case is exciting and fun (to me) but not worth the cost or stress to go through. Wear your protection at all costs......then you can feel comfortable being safe.

My vote is for something water based and bio degradable,based on the last comment
I am no enviro nazi ,I have sprayed my share of diesel and oil on the fence row ,back on the farm

I use mineral spirits mixed with gasoline, but I don't have a wash tank, I have a coffee can w/ a lid. let small stuff soak. works ok.
