No offense to burn victims but I think I know what being burnt alive feels like.

I sprayed Brake Parts Cleaner in my eye. Should you ever do this my advice to you is to enjoy that immediate cool sensation because it ain't no fun after that.

I "see" what you mean

 

[Chuck Leeper]

Next time..

take your glasses off, B4 U try cleaning them!!

I managed to do this a few years ago, I was spraying a rotor and managed to bank it off the hat and right into my eye. I think its like child-birth is to women....you can't appreciate the experience until you go through it.

Brake cleaner makes great upholstery "spot" cleaner. However, DO NOT sit in the cleaned area until it is fully dried unless you have IMMEDIATE access to soap and water to wash the offended area of the anatomy!:tongue:

No, you don't need to ask me how I know.

 

[Squid4life]

Yeah, it is some nasty stuff... I have to admit I have got it sprayed in my eye probably half a dozen times. Burns like a MF'er, then your eye waters and is sensitive to light and even air the rest of the day.

 

[RIFF RAFF]

Yeah but

I bet that eye is really clean now .. Oh & wendy dont use a torch to cut gas lines that gets a bit messy ..

now you know how my eyes felt when you first introduced yourself!

Sorry, but that's just funny.:biggrin:

I've had it get into my eyes while spraying it and even had a co-worker spray it on my crotch as a "joke". Needless to say he ended up on the ground after it dried and I stopped cussing.:smile:

 

[Phoneguy]

Carb cleaner is quite painful as well.

It dang sure got ALL the brake dust out of it. And yes smart-azz I never cut gas lines with a torch, that would be stupid. I use a Plasma cutter.

It is now, but it wasn't at the time!:tongue:

 

[Bruce Urie]

Hmmmmm......you must have been listening to the radio as it was playing "I Can See Clearly Now":biggrin:

Seriously, hope you're alright...that stuff is nasty. Be careful, alright? Next time, keep you eyes CLOSED when you spray it into your face.....

Gasoline is great to get in your eye too. Do yourself a favor and keep a bottle of eye wash in your garage. It works as soon as it hits the eye.

Another bad one is oil and the grit associated with it. even if you have gloves on and you go to wipe your forehead on a hot day, it happens to make its way down to your eyes...

ever changed the fluid in a transfer case, and had your head to close to the drain plug.....

tell me how that went

 

[turbofabricator]

You all haven't LIVED until you get aircraft hydraulic fluid in your eye's!!!!! It's called Skydrol. And buddy let me tell you, brake cleaner feels like Visene copared to Skydrol. And yes, I have done both. Skydrol on your hands and a visit to the toilet is a REAL bad idea, too. Had a co worker RUN over to the sink and whip his "junk" out and feverishly wash it in the sink trying to get the BURN to go away. It just will NOT go away!! NOTHING works. Some say milk does, but come-on......WHO would rub milk on their "junk" in a fountain sink?? THAT just wouldn't hold up to "gaydar" standards....not a chance. You'd be called the "milk man" after that. NOPE.....gonna have to let the fire go out on it's own. Even Skydrol running down your arm into your arm pit is MURDEROUS!! We tie rags around our wrists changing filters. Stops most of it. Jet fuel burns a bit too, but stinks for DAYS and DAYS!! All this, so Y'all can go on Disney vacations.
