Never spray brake clean on a hot even warm weld to clean it. A guy did it not knowing and passed out almost immediately and died not long after(meaning less than an hour)

 

Holy crap, I had no idea. Thank you for posting this and thanks from my family too.

 

No problem guys. I found the article on another forum and thought it was very relevant. Just want everyone to stay alive!

 

Ya I saw you had posted it and I came acrossed it reading something and wanted to put it back at the top for others to read.

 

still relevant info!

 

That's scary stuff right there. Thanks!

 

freon is also a deadly gas when burned

 

thanks for the post. theres a guy on pirate who has this article in his signature but i forgot about it, maybe i should remember things like this
thanks for posting

 

great post with good info

 

Very good/helpful post .. Cant say ive ever used any cleaners before welding, its always just been, once the grinder got it down to shinny it was good to go.

Though some people dont relize the danger of chemical exposure, even in everyday house hold cleaners.

 

galvinized also

 

little off-topic, one time when i was cleaning the toilet with the scrubby brush. I decided to mix some cleaners in the bowl.. BAD IDEA!!! I had a few different bleaches and things and i took one wiff of that and i thought i had just breathed in acid! So i just flushed it, shut the door, and ran! lol I was fine afterwards, just my throat and lungs hurt for awhile

 

also if I may add-I was useing a gas welder to do floor boards some years ago on galvinized, long story' thnirse said I should be comatose' gas combustion exhaust and the fumes from welding galvinized near killed me
