varsol

[Drax240z]

Dry cleaners use a chemical called perchloroethylene, which is pretty nasty
stuff. I doubt that varsol and 'perc' (or PCE) have a lot in common...
Except for perhaps the smell. PCE does however cut grease really well... But
I wouldn't want to be inhaling it! (carcinogen as well)

Varsol is an Exxon product once available at all their service stations
in bulk or 2 gallon cans. Now they are too busy selling beer and snacks
to mess with it. It is a very good degreaser and quite flammable with a
unique smell. If you have ever noticed the smell around a dry-cleaning
establishment it is quite similar or the same. Too much exposure to the
fumes or direct contact with the liquid will also give a real headache.
Don't know where to get it now, haven't seen it for years.
