In article , Me Mine says...

I am a chemist so I will try to clear up a few comments here. (Though I
know little about treating metal for galvanizing.) First TSP is not a
soap with a polar end and a non-polar end.

Well that clears that up.

I guess as a crank turner I'm not that good a chemist!
Sorry for the confusion, guess I should have payed
more attention in class way back when. My last chemistry
class was in 1977.

But I suppose TSP was the same then as it is now...
