Oh yes, I should have mentioned that caveat! Definitely only use the stuff outdoors - it is supremely flammable, but perfectly safe if appropriate caution is exercised (i.e. don't use near open flame, lit cigarettes, or any type of ignition source including appliance pilot lamps or electronic ignition devices).
A small amount goes a long way, no need to use gallons. Despite the relative danger compared to other solutions, I still prefer it for its effectiveness, but then again I'm the type of person who likes the aroma of a greasy garage or machine shop - your preferences may differ from mine. Also, any rags used with the stuff should be left outside, unfurled and away from any ignition sources so they can dry out safely. -a On Friday, May 20, 2016 at 7:09:35 AM UTC-7, GAJett wrote: > > Hellishly dangerous though!
