Soap and goo dispensers
I kinda like liquid handsoap, and keep pump-bottle dispensers for
waterless hand cleaner and soap and lotion all by every sink. Two peeves, though: (1) I had a couple of nice polished-stainless bottles, but both developed a split (the side just burst open one day: bad weld, and unrelieved internal stresses). I've cleaned up the spills, but WHY can't I get a sturdy stainless bottle for that handsoap? Maybe I should remachine the tops of SS water bottles to take the pumps... (2) waterless hand cleaner, both as a parts cleaner and for personal washing, is a key item, BUT it seems to mainly come in gel form (don't want to open a can while my hands are black), or with pumice (don't want THAT in any of my parts after a treatment). Is pump-able goop still available, and I just don't shop in the right place? |

Bottom is a loose disc that follows the stuff down . Might be a gel in the can , but when it comes out the pump it's more semi-liquid . I like Lava soap for my hands .

Smooth formula has more advantages than pumice IMHO. Great for cleaning paintbrushes too. |

Soap and goo dispensers
It's hard to beat regular dish soap as a hand cleaner and it can be pumped. Dish soap is a very powerful emulsifier. It just
dissolves oil and grease and it isn't harmful to the skin. Steve "whit3rd" wrote in message ...

A little soap and lots of water; when the paste gets thick, add more water & scrub some more. I even bought an old powdered Boraxo dispenser at the flea market, but an empty "shaker (parmesan) cheese" container works as well, just don't leave it in the kitchen! The only thing it doesn't do too well is thick grease or oil (think packing bearings or changing the crankcase oil, getting it all over your hands). In those cases I prefer the orange waterless stuff with pumice; I've used Permatex and Goop with equal results, but I think the pumice eventually screws up the pump before the gallon is used up. BTW, I still find the Goop at auto parts stores. Joe |

Lots more power than dish soap. I usually end up pre- soaking shirts and such after a greasy session, just a little hand- washing in the suds does the trick. Even gets under the nails. I've gotten gallons of the orange hand cleaner/no pumice from MSC, when they still had stores. Pumps usually gave out halfway through, so it wasn't the pumice that did them in, just junky pumps. The remains could be dumped out as needed, so not a big loss, just inconvenient. I like the orange stuff better than Goop or GoJo, just seems to work better. Once in awhile the chain parts places have the orange stuff in a tube for cheap, I stick one of those in the center of a roll of paper towels and it goes in the van for after rolling repairs and junkyard trips.
