    "Tri-co" was an awesome parts cleaner.

    There were several vapour degreasers where I did my apprenticeship. Used to have to climb in the bottom of them in BA to clean them out...

    What a shame. She probably had no more idea than me that it could be dangerous. At least we know better now. I can remember freely buying DDT from the local hardware store. We were so uninformed 30-40 years ago.

    Phosgene appears whenever a CFC refrigerant is burnt.There wouldnt be to many techs in our game who havent come across it.

    You just have to be careful what you do......

    Make sure all the refrigerant is reclaimed,gone,whatever,before you light the oxy.......
