I still occasionally use brake clean on my hands.
Know its bad, but its to get even worse harmful stuff off. Have a HD hand cleaner dispenser next to the tool box for right after.

Not to hijack but...
This is just a hobby for me, so there is a lot I dont know. What should I be cleaning metal with before welding, that wont cause issues with me? I tacked a few things together after cleaning with carb cleaner a few months ago, I had no idea that somthing this bad could happen.

Thanks for the warning! I have both in my shop (MIG and brake cleaner). Luckily I have never combined the two, but I could see it happening sooner or later. Terrifying!

Like others have said Chris, if you let it dry enough, there shouldnt be any issues. Its the first thing I thought of - Brew Dude was really in a rush if hes welding without enough time for Brakleen to dry! (but since it was in a crevice and puddled, the compressed air advise makes good sense!) I clean all my metals I'm going to weld with Lacquer Thinner, but never thought about looking at its contents...until now. Doesnt have any tetrachlorothylene in it, but I cant say for sure the stuff that IS in it, is any safer to weld over. http://www.newparks.com/PDF/MSDS/SOL...uerThinner.pdf Heck, I didnt even know tetrachlorothylene was all that bad, so Im not making any recommendations.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
