Many of you might already know this, but it was news to me.

This problem is important enough that I feel compelled to get the word out.

Aerosol Brake Cleaner is widely used by hotrodders, and when used around welding, apparently it can injure you for life or kill you.  Even in very small quantities.

Thanks,

Phosgene was a gas used in WW I-- nothing you want to be around.

This is a good example of why one should read the warning label on anything that's used-- and why anything that is being welded should be clean and thoroughly dry.

(D)amn spambots, although it did reinforce a really important subject. If you happen to just hit a little brake cleaner while tig welding it will about rip your lungs out. Guess how I know? I was lucky and suffered no long term effects.
