These damn kids growing up don’t even remember the good shit, that chlorinated brake cleaner. Mix that with a little R-12 and you can clean a crescent wrench that has been at the bottom of the sea for 15 years.

Well, it's attached with connective tissue, but yeah. You can Google images of it. A common degloving incident involves wedding rings, that's why they say don't wear them if you're in a job where that could happen.

If I’m not using Brakleen, I still like the green Lava soap bars. But mechanics in our fleet got a big tub of this shit the other day and it’s not bad. I wasn’t super greasy when I tried it though. Otherwise they have a big jug of that Cherry Bomb stuff and it’s mediocre.

Plain old bar of lard and lye soap. If the hands a greasy, it take oil to clean oil, start with any light oil, I like 3in1 but any cooking oil works alright, then follow with the bar. Works good and quick, no scrubbing needed.

I hate soap like that cheery bomb shit. It smells good. But it's so slick almost like shave gel and it really doesn't clean that well.

[Bepperoni No.1577849]

>>1577830
Yeah that was one of my gripes, you put your hands in the water real quick so you can work it some more to remove more crud, and 3/4 of the Cherry Bomb just slides down the drain.

This shit and Dawn dish soap. All I ever use.

Borax and brake cleaner. First one, then the other, and an old tooth brush to get under the nails.

[Anonymous No.1577910]

The trick to Cherry Bomb and Fast Orange and every other pumice softsoap is to apply it to your hands dry.
When you work it into your hands, it just demolishes grease and dirt.
Then the water breaks down the soap and it comes all off your hands quickly.

I love Cherry Bomb, it works better than anything else out there, AND it comes off clean quickly and easily.

Lava is way shittier, you have to do a lot more scrubbing with the bar itself, it doesnt come off your hands quickly or easily, and then it leaves your hands feeling chalky and shitty.

oh i forgot. powdered laundry soap mixed used as pumice with liquid dish soap is pretty damn incredible. something like tide or sunlight powder laundry soap with dawn dish soap your hands will be cleaner than theyve ever been

Generally dish soap. I got some sort of borax soap on clearance at Winco recently that seems to work really well. Was super cheap too.

don't use solvents they act as carrier substance for many toxins from oil and paint and can penetrate you're skin allowing the toxins to enter your bloodstream.

acetone, use sparingly, should be no harm if only done once in a while. Lotion hands after.

>penetrate you're skin allowing the toxins to enter your bloodstream.
is this true? i usually associate solvents with rapidly evaporating things moving stuff away from your body and skin. I associate bases with transdermal medicine. no i need to do reading.

I have this information from an BG-HM flyer German OSHA for wood and metall industry

about epoxy product allergies they found out that in company's where epoxy was cleaned of the hands with solvent the allergies strongly decreased when the use of solvents stopped because of the solvent allowed the nasty allergens to penetrate the skin.

We had a lot of problems in the making of glass fiber products especialy Wind turbines because there was a boom in wind energy and some companys took shortcuts with the safty.

most workers got sick during their 60day Probation and were not hired afterwards so they never showed in the statistics

Well, no. Soap dissolves in water, while the grease and oil that goes down your kitchen sink does not. You can pour a gallon of liquid soap down your drain every day and it will not accumulate in your pipes.

The tennis ball size balls of grease that float into the small waste water plant I manage are mind-boggling. How they keep their drains running is a mystery to me.

sorry but i have actual dangers to worry about at work like lifting overhead with the crane or running something over in a hoe, not the dangers of brake clean

[Anonymous No.1582620]

>>1582212
Not only does soap dissolve, it's also an emulsifier - which keeps actual fat from separating from the water.
