Re: [TCML] Subject: Overheated Secondary
people tend to use what is "normally" convienient and accesable (
spelling?) and proven to work in general terms. There is a plethora of
solvents available to reduce the hardened materials around the cores of
many NST's amougst many other things ( except that stuff in the epoxy
soaked cores but thats another case and it is Toxic).
We can use benzine based hydrocarbons and die of skin and lung cancer in
3 minutes ( yes I am being harsh) or we can utilize commonly known
solvents which are "less" toxic/dangerous and die in 3 decades from
exposure.... choose your poison carefully!
I would watch the guy from the "parts cleaner" rental unit come in and
replace the cleaning fluid in our cleaning unit. He would put on thick
rubber gloves, a heavy neoprene apron, and a resparator ( cant spell
tonite) to do the transfer. I dont know if he did this to protect
himself from what contaminates we induced into the cleaning fluid or if
it was the fluid itself he was protecting himself from.... why would he
do this but not explain to us the hazards of our contact with the
material in the cleaner??? And what about the person who has the job of
cleaning parts ALL day not been informed of the potential hazard?
too many questions
I think too much sometimes...
my opinion... if it makes your skin tingle/burn or swell or turn red,
it has got to be not good for you... the body is reacting to it....
be careful on your choice of solvents when depotting an NST ( core
soaked Xformer)

Hi Marko,
You don't have to get all the residue out, just mainly access to the
task at hand. Yes, mechanics use gasoline and have forever. It is
dangerous like everyone says. Hard to break old habits however when
you've used it as a solvent for 40+ years.
Take care,
Bart
