For a parts washer with a pump my local parts house sells 5 gallon grey drums of 'Solvent' (which nothing more than some blend of petro chemical like Toluol, etc...) For exceptionally 'nasty' parts, but you can't use it in a parts washer (will eat the paint, plastic parts, your hands), is the big $80 can of that nasty Berryman's Orange stuff (smells like bandaids...you'll need a skin replacement if you don't use protective gloves...). -D.Idiot |

Does the Berryman's come in a spray can or what? I have a feeling gloves wouldn't be the only protection you need *digs out respirator*

Nope, it comes in a 5 gallon specially lined bucket, with one of those lids that's peened over at the factory... -D.Idiot |

Dang, Thought post went on. Varsol? Wear nitrile gloves (chemical resistant). Works great on getting dirt/sludge and general degreasing. For final degrease/de-oiling especially before putting each part on that needs gasket or RTV, I use acetone or brake cleaner. Always well ventilated space while doing it. Cheers, Wizard |

The Pearl solvent was ~35 bucks for five gallons last time I bought it at Carquest. Kinda spendy, but so's gas to drive to Eugene to the chemical specialty places. My tank took two of them. CJ |

Chris, Try your local paint supply store or a Sherwin-Williams. You should have said something on Saturday...I still have 15 gallons. I could always use some extra garage space ya know

What is your favorite parts washer juice and why? Where do you buy yours? Thanks, Chris E. Safety-Kleen is great stuff, but might be either hard to find, pricey, or both. A local car parts chain carries "Solvent 140" which is almost as good as Safety-Kleen, I think it cost me about $40 for a 5-gallon bucket. Varsol is similar stuff, but doesn't dry quite as clean. A parts-washer is the second handiest-dandiest tool I ever bought (second only to an air compressor). |
