[Shop-talk] Parts Washers

[David C.]

Agitene and Super Agitene are petroleum based according to their 
MSDS.  Graymills does make a product call Aquatine and Super Aquatine that 
are water soluble, but given the cost of the regular stuff, the water based 
stuff is probably NASA-spec priced.

I have regular (I think) Agitene in my HF parts washer.  When it's finally 
too nasty to use I plan to replace it with regular mineral spirits/paint 
thinner, unless I can find a distributor that sells bulk Varsol or 
something like it.
