And I've only just noticed you mention turps, where I mention kero, is one better than the other in your opinion?? I have a bottle of each but I'm curious whats best to use... I'm told turps tastes better and is less likely to kill you. Kero cleans better. Use the turps to thin your oil-based paints. Theo |

Kero is a fuel, whereas turps is a solvent. That's not to say kero isn't also a good solvent, but it may not be as good. I've read various claims that kero is an abrasive. Myth or not, you can find the claim using google. While it doesn't make much sense to me that such a mix of liquid hydrocarbons would be abrasive in its own right, it does raise a question. I buy turps in 4-litre bottles, and they were cheaper than the 4-litre bottles of kero. John |

I have heard about using ultrasonic cleaners to clean a chain. Has anyone here used one? What fluid do you use in it? Plus? It works. Minus? It takes a looooong time. I used kero, and the chain did fit in my aldi version. To be honest, I used it a few times, then parked it. I probably didn't do quite as good a job slooshing the chain around in a kero filled tub, but the chain was back on my bike much faster, meaning I was too! ;^) To be even more honest, clean chains are overrated. ;^) puts on asbestos undies Tony F |
