- Yes, tri-chlor is a relative of carbon tetrachloride but is MUCH less toxic.
- This stuff is available at your local building supply store. I think
- the brand is Parks and they call it carbo-trichlor. However, a chemical supply
- or inductrial supply shop would be MUCH cheaper for larger quantities.
-
- Any shop in your area that does soldering on a large scale will probably have
- a tri-chlor degreaser as it nicely dissolves the rosin flux used to clean the
- metals. They could provide to you their source. The little can of the stuff
- from Home Depot would let you test. I use it for most everything as it doesn't
- eat most of the plastics that lacquor thinner does. But TEST FIRST. Lucas uses
- some very cheap plastics. But hey, I don't have to tell you this. This is SOL
- land...
