[TheForge] Grease

Fri Apr 19 13:57:00 2002

I used to run into this on the antique cars I worked on and Jerry is
right, gas works well, so does lacquer thinner.  BUT... Make sure you
have the cups out of the gas and away from it in good ventilation
before you start scrubbing or working with them.  When the fumes reach
the lower explosive level, even a spark you can't see generated by
your synthetic clothing materials can ignite it.  Bad deal if you are
in it and your hands are covered with it.
