I bought couple gallons of Awesome. Worked great cleaning a Q jet (top) Air horn. Poured a half gallon in a plastic kitchen tub and just scrubbed with a tooth brush. Worked frickin great and fast Has anyone boiled Awesume in a pot like a hot tank. I wonder if it will foam up, over flow and make a big fuggin mess.
I can't comment on Awesome, but I do heat and also boil Simple Green with no issues. I use a single burner electric hot plate and a stainless stock pot. Usually use the Simple Green full strength for stuff I want really clean.
Totally awesome is the best cleaner ever. And cheap too. I even use it to spray on laundry stains. Works on everything but dried paint. Have not heated it but I’d give it a go. Let us know if you blow up.
I know this place is all about shared experience, but sometimes it is smart to check the actual data. I haven't heard of or used it, but the Safety Data Sheet is available. https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/56/56804f81-f07c-48e1-91a6-5a12fe2dc17b.pdf Seems that freezing is bad, no mention of boiling except that it doesn't all boil off. I'd be more careful of vapors, though.
Yeah,,,,, sheet like that There was a old post by F.O.G. years ago, He said he boiled Awesome in a crock pot with carburetor parts. But looks like he hasnt posted in a few years
I learned a trick with lemon juice in a pot of water, and boil that from motorcycle guys. Works great. Caveat it will pull off a zinc coating if it has one
Usually cleaners work better warm. I have an old crock pot I use for this. I throw in some Phosphate free TSP in water for degreasing small parts and fasteners before zinc plating them.
I've been thinking about putting the Totally Awesome cleaner in my solvent tank as it is cheap enough to do it. I use it to clean parts and use it in the house to do squirt bottle cleaning. I haven't tried cooking a carb in it though or soaking one in it.
