[Histonet] RE: Xylene/Paint Thinner

[Rene J Buesa]

If you ever need to degrease any auto part, just place it in water, add liquid soap to about 5% conc., and heat it until boiling and let them in boiling water during 5 minutes. Wash with running tap water and dry.
They will degrease even better tan with xylene.

I don't know if the auto parts stores carry xylene, but it is an awesome degreaser. Learned that from my mentor back in the 70's.

If you look on the paint thinner isle at your local Lowe's.  You will
find Xylene on the shelf.  The first time I saw it was a shock.  Wonder
if the home improvement  weekend warriors know what they are getting all
over their hands?????
