TIA Henry We sell a safety solvent at the parts store just for small washers.It's a higher flashpoint and not too hard on the skin. Plus it work great too. I clean small parts with it rather than trying to throw them in the hot tank. |

For really grungy bits you can use one of those coffee cans full of carb cleaner with a dip bucket. Anymore I mostly am working on old bicycles, although I theoretically still have some car projects going (no time to work on them anymore though) nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

Parts Washer...what do you use?
The one time I had a parts washer, I didn't use it enough to
justify the service contract. I ended up sending it back. Now, for greasy parts I take them outdoors and blast em off with ether starting spray. That said, I don't know what they used. I suspect mineral spirits paint thinner. How do you plan to get rid of the old stuff when it's unusable? -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org ..

I think it comes with a tray that you submerge into the cleaning solution. |
