How greasy makes a difference. Really greasy I'd first use paint
thinner (better than kerosene): fasteners & thinner in a gallon can with
lid and shake it. And how clean? Thinner might be enough. REALLY
clean with lye (why not) - I keep a gallon mixed up & use it for a
variety of cleaning. Not as clean: hot TSP or Dawn in can & shake.


Greasy as in new fasteners in a box from China, with whatever the hell
kind of goop they put on them. I'd prefer to not be using solvents.
