[6pack] brake cleaner and welding warning

[Sally or Dick Taylor]

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!

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
