Guest Melanie Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Its amazing how many common items found around the house or workshop can harm you. Another sad thing is there really isnt a specialist in Columbus who can help with these types of harmful chemicals. Especially long term cases. The closest ones are Cincinnati or Cleveland. Cant remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main3s Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Yeah no shit! I worked at a shop about a year and a half ago and experienced this first hand. I was cleaning off some parts over the trash can using brake cleaner and my buddy was welding up an exhaust. I was in one bay and he was in the other with the car up on the lift. He needed a hand holding up the exhaust so I went over to help. I put the lid on the trash can (after I got done spraying in about a can and a half of brake cleaner) Once he had most of it in place I decided to pick up some of the trash from the packaging so I rolled the trash can over, opened the lid and well one little spark must have gotten too close and.... Whooosh Boooooom! The trash can went flying my arm was on fire and so was his back... It wasn't anything serious really just singed the hair off my arm and a little off the back of his head. We both freaked the fuck out for a second because neither one of us knew right away what had happened. He was like "am I on fire!?" I said "No, me?" he was like "It might be invisible fire." From then on we made a rule, no trash cans within 10 ft of where we were welding. It could have been a lot worse, but we learned our lesson and had a laugh about it later.

FourString Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Anyone ever use brake parts cleaner in a non-ventilated garage with a torpedo-heater running? It's interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 When I was testing the vac on my Regal with the motor running (hot) and I was spraying down my I/C core it was burning off and my nose was saying "WTF DUDE.. STOP IT". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourString Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 i've sprayed it in one a few times:D For me, I cannot stop coughing. It feels like being choked. By far, one of the most unpleasant experiences ever. I've done it twice now too (not thinking about it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
