[Shop-talk] Parts solvent

[Gil Fuqua]

I posted a few pictures of my parts washer at:

One shows the filter installation and another the stainless steel colanders
that I use in the washer to hold parts.  You can buy the colanders in the
kitchen gear section of your local Target or Wal-Mart.  They are sturdy and
work great.

I have used super agitene for years and have had no problem with it.  High
flash point and not a strong odor.  I used it without a filter but like the
idea.

  The filter is a great idea but please let us all know how the super agitene
works, I have been following this thread quite closely, I currently use
SafetyKleen but can't get it anymore due to EPA regs in Calif.  (I don't want
to sign up as a EPA polluter for a home garage, so no more SafetyKleen for
me).
