So does petrol! Haha. I soaked, well thought I was soaking my wheel.bearings in gasoline and went back to look at it and half the cup was melted away...
 
That's why you use diesel.... That and its a ton safer than having gasoline fumes creeping around

Ryan has been sniffing the fumes for a while now.
 
There may have been alcohol involved but I thought it was a good idea at the time. I quickly realized my mistake...I'll have to remember the can trick as I don't keep any diesel around...I laughed at myself.
 
Remember like dissolves like... Most plastics are polyethylene, and brake cleaner is tetrachloroethylene...

Thats pretty impressive spelling...I bet you kick ass at scrabble!


Can I take a whack at the two words?? Im gonna guess both are 'ethylenes' - one having multiple compounds, and one have compounds based on something aquatic....Howd I do for a highschool education??Be gentle!:hillbilly:
 
:) It's the chemist in me..

Both are alkenes, double bonded carbon atoms. In the case of ethylene, the remaining 4 atoms of the molecule are hydrogens. In tetrachloroethylene, the 4 (tetra) atoms are chlorine (chloro) with the ethylene backbone. Ethylene could also be called tetrahydroethylene if you wanted to keep the same naming convention... Polyethlylene is yes, multiple ethylene molecules linked together...

Same with brake fluid and paint. Brake fluid is glycol-ether based along with most paints used so it's why you need to wipe off the brake fluid from paint, because... like dissolves like...

Im gonna need a beer.:clap:

Heeeey since youre a chemist...does this mean you have some beakers laying around?? I need some for a photoshoot..
(sorry for the hijack phares)

What's the chemical compound of meth again?? :doh:
 
sudafed + other neat stuff divided by no teeth and good skin
 
Red phosphorus, ummm Damn that's all I remember from breaking bad. Aka best show to ever at on any television in any part of any universe. I suggest watching it.
