Title: carb/brake cleaner
Post by: publius on April 04, 2020, 01:14:28 AM
I know a lot of us use carb or brake cleaner when we are servicing our reels. I'm sitting here at my gun cleaning bench looking at all the bottles of chemicals and something occured to me. When you buy these chemicals make sure you buy the non chlorinated version for obvious reasons. CHLORINE, it's not good for metal.

Oh, and for anybody new to using this stuff. Keep it away from any plastic or rubber. IT MELTS PLASTIC.

It will say non chlorinated on the can. If it doesn't say non-chlorinated it has chlorine.
