Gee, maybe one of the scientists on the List could develop a
genetically enhanced maggot that could eat rust, paint and grease,
leaving only bare metal. That would leave only two problems: disposing
of the potentially toxic maggot poop, and explaining to your neighbors
that the thing in your back yard is "the maggot tank".
Seriously, cleaning up in the shop is no small matter. I have a,
perhaps, 2 cu ft sealed container with some kerosene in the bottom I
clean parts with; no idea what to do with the mess at the bottom. And
how about shop rags? A profe$$ional $ervice? Use your home washing
machine to clean 'em? Take them to the laundromat? There are some
problems with those two last options!
