The thread is about cleaning and lubricating fishing reel bearings but when he gets into the chemistry you get a free education if you pay attention. The best meat and potatoes is on page two but it’ll only take a couple minutes to read it all.
People are lazy so prob nobody will read the thing but there’s some good info in there and your warning is still valid even if guys want to pretend it’s safe to use because they’ve used it their whole career without noticing adverse health effects.
