Grego--Very interesting! I'm wondering if this would also be the case if using
(MIG) welding wire that is flux impregnated, rather than using the Argon gas as
the deoxidizer? I've also submitted this question and story to "SNOPES" to see
if it's myth or has substance. My cynicism lies in brake cleaners almost
instant evaporation, yet apparantly stayed around during the heat and air of
the welding process.
Old enough to doubt, young enough to learn!

Subject: [6pack] brake cleaner and welding warning
I saw this referenced on a welding forum and thought I would pass it on
here. Pretty scary!
Synopsis: don't mig/tig weld on anything that has been cleaned with
brake cleaner
