Got some industrial mystery degreaser

[Gilligan]

A buddy of mine's father owns a oilfield rental company and has large containers of degreaser concentrate so he gave me about two gallons of it.

So how do I figure out how to cut this?  Is there a danger of it being "too concentrated"?

I've got some old mesh and some brand new busted mesh I could test it on... what kind of test should I conduct?

Less mysterious now...

Who's getting crude on your screens?   

Isn't that stuff for "eating" petroleum products?

[Gilligan]

Wouldn't a degreaser that gets of crude be able to degrease our screens?

It's probably way more expensive, but when you don't have to pay for it.

M.X. #1 is a proprietary blend of bacteria, nutrients and washing agents

That stuff would be fabulous for cleaning crude oil off a rock or a bird, but probably not your screens.

yeah, if you are worried about price, just use diluted dawn dishsoap....which also takes the crude off of birds.

i'm sure diluted down enough the product will work just fine. i use 701 as my ink degradent and dont degrease anymore. no problems yet.

[Gilligan]

Yeah, it has 7% sodium metasilicate and then the bio stuff... so it probably will work.

I dipped some mesh in it the other day to see how it holds up... I forgot about it... so it has time to dry on there for days now.  That will be a good test.

you will be fine until the bacteria eats your face. 

[Gilligan]

You trying to say I have a greasy face? :p

[mk162]

Nope, just hoping it's not flesh eating bacteria.
