Petrol and Prepsol?

Paraffin?

Diesel?

 

C'mon guys, most of you are boycotting BP right now for stuffing up an entire ocean. Yet, each one of you are slowly but surely poisoning the sytem with hyrdocarbons that, no matter how carefully your phrase it, are polluting your gardens, driveways and ultimatately our water.

 

 

Each time I do a class I ask the guys what they use and the answers always shock me. Many people claim their "bury" their paraffin....I doubt it, they sommer pour it out somewhere.

 

Stop it.

 

Get soapy degreaser and be done with the lethal stuff.

 

 

BTW, the best degreaser in the world is Prepsol. Lets fight over that statement.

That Prepsol is expensive, I think I paid about R100 for 5 liters. I just use Handy Andy, stuff under the kitchen sink next to the sunlight liquid, sorted smiley20.gif

Prepsol all the way! I use it to clean almost everything and since my wife discovered it as well, she is constantly raiding my supply.

I also paid about R100 for 5 liters about 3-4 years ago, but do the following calculations:

R100/3.5(years)=R28.57 per year.

R28.57/12(months)=R2.38 per month.

R2.38/30.42(avg days per month)=R0.08 per day!

I think surely you can afford that? That is less what it costs for an entry to a local race, which is over and done with in 3-4 hours.

R100 for 5 liters is quite expensive. I buy it in 220l drums and it works out at R250 for 25 liters. But the effort and schlepp of decanting is another story.
