Default Gunk is good stuff

Hi All

Andrew is correct with kero is a good combination, again warmth is key to making it work at its best. In the summer if I'm cleaning parts like this I put them out in the sun to warm up. The Gunk/Kero seems to work better once it and the grease are above 70F. In the winter I have a parts warm shelf that is about 5' from the hot air discharge for the furnace I put the parts to be cleaned on the self until they are warm. Then I use the Gunk/kero and it seems to clean work much better.

I was kidding about using gasoline to clean parts, your correct it is far to flammable and once mixed with grease and grime to hard to get rid of.

Cheers Phil
