Yes Gadge I did rethink after I had posted...wondered about a salt effect. I suspect when the water evaporates out and the solution concentrates it can then attack, probably hygroscopic so absorbs water from atmosphere to continue. It did say that it works well when allowed to dry!

I'll remember not to use it on my bike wheels.

Was going to look up the SDS, hadn't got around to it yet. Thank-you.

Was going to experiment with some other cleansers I've had experience with previously. Hence the need for a 'guinea pig' machine. Already wish I had a whopping great ultrasonic bath to chuck things in!

You're all probably scratching your heads at me, I'll add some info on my background at some stage so you all understand where I'm coming from- but it's technical scientific.

All you experiences are invaluable to me and greatly appreciated. It's a great world when we can stop certain 'histories repeating'! smile

Cheers,


Patrick
