Thanks for the heads up

 

It was not known to me but was brought to my attention by ktmracer on facebook but this guy actually passed away shortly after writing this...and I think it should be stickied

 

thats cray cray

 

That's crazy, specially for the do it your selfers that don't have any formal training.

 

Definitely good to know. Thanks for sharing that.

For the record, I believe his death is an urban legend. From what I can tell, Steve "BREWDude" Garn is still alive and kicking... and answering questions on his facebook fan page as of a few days ago (that article was published in August 2009).

 

Yes, it pays to read the warning labels. And the MSDS sheets in the work environment.

Agreed but most people that just buy stuff and do stuff don't have an M.S.D.S. Handy

 

Wow!

Sounds like they should really put a warning ALOT bigger on the brake cleaner can!

Glad to know this now.

 

That's scarry, I should be more careful.
