OH YUK (or rhymes with yuk). 


All was well in the garage Friday AM. Saturday the rusted bottom of the carb cleaner can had given way. What an stinky, gooy, evil, evil mess.
It saturated its wooden shelf and stuff there with it. It drained to a box of odd drill attachments (wire wheels, hole saws, etc). Then on to the nooks and crannies of the workbench where it wicked along all the seams. Some went onto/into the Craftsman roll-away toolbox. Wicked into all the spaces in a stack of circular saw blades. Soaked the strap holding the oxy-ace tanks to the workbench leg. Did I mention this stuff is evil. And it stinks.
This was the old, really good stuff; so good I've only used about a pint out of the 1 quart can in ... maybe 25 years. Old as it is, it took paint off the roll-away tool chest GRRRRR. The liquid and the smell permeate everything and the smell lingers.
Took all day to toss stuff and try to clean the rest. I expect to still smell carb cleaner on Christmas.
