DYKEM spray can warning!
A few minutes ago I was in the metal working part of my small
electronic assembly service plant. I had been noticing a somewhat familiar odor the last few weeks, but thought it was from something one of my employees had been doing in the shop. Now I see a BIG mess of red-black sticky stuff on two of the storage shelves. My rules, and a bunch of pens, pencils, paper, and other stuff are splattered and stuck in a puddle of the stuff. It all came from a rather new spray can of DYKEM red. A pin hole developed in the welded seam of the can, about 1 inch from the bottom. Almost the entire can emptied itself onto the shelves and the stuff on the shelves. I can clean it up with denatured alcohol,but what a mess! I am going to take the can back to Fastenall and see if they will give me a new one. The can of blue DYKEM looks ok, but I am going to store it inside a leak proof container. Too late for the red. Just thought you all need to know! Paul in Central Oregon. |

I had the same thing happen about a year ago.
A blue "Precision Brand" spray can leaked, the red one is still fine (bought at the same time). Relatively new can, heated shop... blue dye leaked out and ran down onto the next shelf.

I remember a guy that was into backpacking, bicycle camping, and such. He had a rule about radioactive items and how you packed them. In his case he was talking about things like oil, honey, and such in his pack that a leak would cause much grief with clothing, books and food. I try to remember the guys warning everytime I store something that a leak would cause me much heartburn. A zip lock is excellent secondary containment. Wes |

A couple of cans had developed pinhole leaks right through their walls and the pepsi which leaked through them is what dried and stuck the cardboard to the floor.

this is a GREAT opportunity to write the company, enclose the can (or offer
to) and tell them of your problem - first, it will help them with quality control, and secondly, they are likely to help you with something you will appreciate. " wrote in message ...

Thanks Paul, I just put my Dykem can in a plastic bag. --Winston I store my paint cans in used 5 litre plastic ice cream tubs They are about 20cmX20cmX15cm high. The tub contains leaks and allows me to sort the cans according to colour or other criteria. It also allows me to take the whole bunch to the bench where I can select the most appropriate can for the job and use the oldest or near empty ones first. I can also select one with enough paint to finish the job. A quick glance tells me if I am running low on specific popular colours or types and allows me to replenish it before I run out (saved a couple of trips to the store). The ice cream tubs are also handy to store bottles of woodwork oils, turps, thinners and other chemicals. it keeps the bottles upright and prevents the stuff for soiling or damaging the wooden shelves. Thinners dissolves some of the plastics, so first test the tube before use. Some plastic 5 litre oil cans are more resistant to thinners. Remove one side of the oil can and use it as a tub. In the kitchen I use 2 litre plastic ice cream tubs to keep bottles of cooking and olive oil, as well as vinegars, soya and other sauces upright and to contain leakage. All the dribble down the sides stays inside the tubs and the shelves stay clean. Gerhard van den Berg CSIR |

I'm not familiar with the 5 litre container (but much too familiar with the 2 litre paper container) of ice cream. I suppose I could use a plastic laundry detergent pail instead: http://www.askousa.com/_images/pages...tage_lr__1.jpg Or, if you have cats, there is the clumping litter which comes in nice solid plastic pails which are good to store things in, and to sit on. I have one filed with air tools, another with good AMP crimping tools, and others being used for various other purposes. Gonna have to borrow a cat somewhere. --Winston -- Welds made for grinding.

DYKEM spray can warning!

I had been noticing a somewhat familiar odor the last few weeks, but thought it was from something one of my employees had been doing in the shop. Now I see a BIG mess of red-black sticky stuff on two of the storage shelves. My rules, and a bunch of pens, pencils, paper, and other stuff are splattered and stuck in a puddle of the stuff. It all came from a rather new spray can of DYKEM red. A pin hole developed in the welded seam of the can, about 1 inch from the bottom. Almost the entire can emptied itself onto the shelves and the stuff on the shelves. I can clean it up with denatured alcohol,but what a mess! I am going to take the can back to Fastenall and see if they will give me a new one. The can of blue DYKEM looks ok, but I am going to store it inside a leak proof container. Too late for the red. Just thought you all need to know! Paul in Central Oregon. I have 3...Three cases of assorted spray Dykem. All brand new. Each and every one has no pressure on the cans. A gift from a very ****ed off client who orders it by the pallet load Gunner "Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement, reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam" Bruce C.

Yes we do over here, but you can also get packs of 6 cans. The 4pack happened to be Carlsberg export. Good choice in beer. Was it the Elephant beer? Karl It should be noted that any Carlsberg product is to beer what WD40 is to LPS3 :-| Mark Rand RTFM Ooh, touchy, touchy. g My recollection of Elephant, as it was sold in Europe at the time (1968) was that four short cans, about half the size of a regular can, were enough to knock me off my barstool. Nobody told me about the alcohol content. -- Ed Huntress Here in Hawaii they're in 12oz (or metric close) and are very relaxing. We have a good and friendly shop nearby with a good selection of imports so in the spirit of friendliness I'm willing to accept beer suggestions for the further edification of my palate. Karl |

Either rig up a filling adapter and stuff in the proper propellant with the spray can upside down, or grab a church key and have an empty dauber can handy. Doesn't make the product worthless, just adds a little challenge. -- Bruce -- |
