well-equipped shop folks use for cleaning solution in your parts washers?
I'd heard a suggestion a while back for Agitene marketed by Grainger
supplies--supposedly safe as mother's milk, blah, blah, blah, albeit
expensive at ~$40 per 5 gallons... Well, I checked the MSDS for the stuff
and it's not so friendly. It may be okay for skin contact, but it's a bit
more volatile and flammable than I'd like. Any suggestions? TIA... >>

I have a small Harbor Freight parts washer. It was suggested on the list to
use 3 gallons of odorless paint thinner mixed with about a half quart of
motor
oil. It seems to work great and the odor doesn't knock me out. I only use
it
with the garage door open. It isn't as safe as Safety Kleen, but for the
small
amount I use it, I am glad I bought the thing. I also use rubber gloves with
it.
I think it would have been a real mess changing the wheel bearings without it.
