Be careful out there guys, especially those of you welding or other high heat type jobs on the bike.

I weld all the time and this isn't something I've heard about. I usually use alcohol to remove grease and metal prep so now I'll be sure to keep it that way.

Carb cleaner is safe too...

Brake Clean is to be feared and respected.

that is true to life had similar problem welding after using cleaners many years ago crc brake clean can be absorbed right into your pores dont even have to breath the stuff so be carefull where you use any cleaner with those chemicals over time the toxins build up in your body and your liver cant filter them out and one day you may just pass out or die . i allmost lost a friend CHUCK was using crc and his wife found him passed out in engine compartment she called 911 and after the hospitol checked his blood and liver he was loaded with this stuff and his liver stopped working it took weeks and he can never be around this crc again the doctor said it would kill him if he came in contact with it again . so long time exposure is just as bad . and that is a fact. use it out side and wear clothes that cover your arms and a mask it may save your life one day. and dont spray two different brand cleaners behind one another even if they are both brake clean mixing chemicals any chemicals can make deadly gases some not visable and by then its too late. serious shit guys and gals
