CAUTION: It will attack seals, gaskets and of course paint!

The only notable problem is that plastic toothbrushes don't last long in
contact with dichloromethane based strippers, which is a pity as they
are ideal for cleaning ring grooves, round valve seats etc.

M16 cleaning brushes last a little longer, but are still softened up.

Now Ohio Brush makes some very good wooden handled ones!!

"As physicists now know, there is some nonzero probability that any object will,
through quantum effects, tunnel from the workbench in your shop to Floyds Knobs,
Indiana (unless your shop is already in Indiana, in which case the object will
tunnel to Trotters, North Dakota).

The smaller mass of the object, the higher the probability.
Therefore, disassembled parts, particularly small ones,
of machines disappear much faster than assembled machines."
