you could burn it in a model aircraft engine or add some to your petrol But I do9nt see how a methanol based product is 'non flammable'

Oh I looked carefully, Its a jolly old fluorocarbon. Banned for causing layers of holes in zones or something

hang on to it for taking grease spots out of your tutu.

The lid has the following written on it "Contains NO propellant included in the 1987 Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the Ozone layer"

Even if it did contain CFCs what can I do about it? The genie is going to get out of the can one way or another and I may as well make good use of it.

So it can do stain removal in material? What about soft furnishings?

I'd wondered if it would be useful for pre-cleaning prior to soldering.

I'll light a match and spray it. If I don't return to this thread you will know what happened.

I bet there was a later protocol than that

definitely

No. It is too fluorocarbon heavy to burn

Well I was told it was IPA and distilled water, but who knows? It smelled like the stuff bib used to sell for tape head cleaning to me. Brian

Well, that depends on what its mixed with. You would need an awful lot for the vapour to be burnable. Brian
