purple power is a lot cheaper then solvent. thats what i use in my parts washer, about a 50/50 mix of water and purple power. i have a fish tank heater in the parts washer and it works so much better then when its cold. most stuff i just let sit over night (unless its aluminum, purple power will destroy it if left to long) then hit it with a brush and rinse with fresh water. solvent works so much better and faster but its also dangerous to have in a shop with welding, grinding ect.
i use MEK and a sure shot
so gasoline and a element from a hot water heater is a bad idea??
What are you saying Glen? Testing the flash point of gasoline?
The NSA just notified the EPA about this. Is MEK even available these days?
one of the main chemicals used to make that plastic coating on the handle of tools.
can still buy it at ACE round these parts in commiefornia
I have a trick for turning a plain preasure washer into a steam cleaner. I hook the water supply hose to my hot water heater drain. For parts cleaning I keep a bucket of simplegreen at full strength. For mor stubborn stuff I have purple power. Then for stuff that is even more stubborn I use mineral spirits. If the mineral spirits doesn't get it clean then I use mechanical removal and elbow grease.
