Reply:It is a very popular solvent, if you get my meaning.  Authorities are putting on all kinds of restrictions and record keeping associated with it.
Reply:I don't need to buy any yet. I buy it in the smaller can. I think it was $6 for the can I bought a few months ago.John -  fabricator extraordinaire, car nut!-  bleeding Miller blue! http://www.weldfabzone.com

Reply:Originally Posted by Patriot PerformanceIt has become rather silly shoping at wal-mart for things like that. I can buy a gun easier.I got carded for buying injector cleaner one time. She told me I could make meth with it. I laughed and said thanks, I'll keep that in mind.It is sad that we have kids actually trying to make meth.

Reply:18.00 a gallon sounds like a bargain to me. I picked up a U.S quart (946 ml in metric Canada) for $8.00. Either I got robbed or acetone is even more expensive in Canada than in the US.59ih340 mentioned buying brake cleaner. Has anyone tried it as a degreaser for cleaning prior to welding?  I use it by the case on the kid's racing karts for cleaning and degreasing bearings and chassis'. Could it work here too?"Don't confuse motion with progress"
Reply:I have and still use Non-chlorinated brake cleaner for degreasing parts whether they will be welded or not.I have actually found that it works really well on some aluminum production pieces that I weld for a company. The pieces are knurled aluminum handles for rescue equipment. I'm almost sure that it has nothing to do with the actual cleaner but more of the fact that it's a pressurized spray that cleans the knurled areas really well.- Paulhttp://all-a-cart.comWelding Cart Kits and accessories

Reply:same with sodium hydroxide... (lye)  pretty awesome chemical... I used it by the pound correcting pH in a hard to control pool.can't believe it... pretty sad.  What I think should happen is make these chemicals available again... let the druggies eliminate themselves from the gene pool.  it's called natural selection.  Im sure the flames will start, but being a family show, what little venting I do on the soap box is MILD.  want the rest of the story, that's reserved for PM.
Reply:We have to raise hell with our legislators about this kind of over-regulation of our lives.  Can't buy a glass tube or filter paper or litmus paper at a chemical supply house without registering and giving a DNA sample because some punk MIGHT use it to make drugs?  We're letting our lives be regimented for the convenience of the cops.awright
Reply:And, following 9/11 (and the unibomber?) Radio Shack no longer supplies mercury switches.  This is particularly stupid, since a similar positional switch can be achieved simply by placing a ball bearing in a tube.Last edited by Weldordie; 01-29-2007 at 02:10 PM.
