um.. yeah that was definitely not smart at all. brake clean is only for brakes... and washing your hands. lol

jeez that's horrible, its funny how now a days people can't believe the stuff people used to use 20-30 years ago without protection and whatnot (varsol without gloves, coal mines with black lung etc.) just imagine what people are going to say in another 20 years about some of the stuff we do now a days. I work in a CNC machine shop, we machine so hard and hot sometimes it boils the coolant and steams us out of the shop, i can't imagine that stuff in the air being very good for us.

Thats just crazy scary. I work with chemicals at work all the time and don't think about any side effects of any of it. I need to start being more careful.

wow thats crazy. i have seen that cloud of smoke before. i could have been dead already and didnt know it. i use brake clean to clean the diffs out when welding them together for off road racers. that stuff gets plenty hot and there is argon in there as well. i need a new technique for sure.

In the shop I used to work for, they had great ventilation because someone did develop respiratory issues due to that "steam".

r-134 and the teflon lining on your pans put off toxins when too hot as well...and i believe the old chlorine based freons put off phosgene when heated as well.

geez I'm glad i read that. if true, one would think that a bigger alert/ label would be called for. I'm actuallly just happy to drive one of these cars and not wrench them like the rest of of you poor buggers. lol

No just older and lazier. I used to wrench alot when I had no money but after working hard and making it somewhat, I decided that I really do NOT enjoy wrenching my daily work van. I have a trusted mech. who I pay and make my money instead of saving money with my time.

ya I was snubbing my nose a little - sorry. :snooty:

 

[tommckay]

I'm with ya Toddb, I can wrench on my own rides & have done so many a time. But now I only do the "light" work and have a trusted Mechanics take care of things for me. I figure I can afford it & can hold somone else responsible if it gets screwed up, so why not? :rolling:
