Parts Washer and 701
« on: September 20, 2019, 12:45:24 PM »
Is anyone using a parts washer with full strength 701 (or similar chem)? I'd like to give it a try for (plastisol only) floods and squeegees.

We use mineral spirits in the parts washer for cleaning squeegees and flood bars.

We swapped out mineral spirits for EASI-WAY 842 in our washer. Would never go back.

I use the Smart Washer that Hoffman use to have at the shows a few years ago.  It's been the best thing for cleaning squeegees and floodbars that I've used in the last 20 years

We’ve been using 701, 3:1 with water!

I ended up hating that thing.  It took longer to clean everything and then I had to rinse it off or everything was sticky.  And I also got sick of the smell.

I built my own, sits in the corner of my wash out sink.
S/s baking tray that drains into an emulsion bucket with a pump on it.
When the chemicals are old I just put in a bucket with fresh chemicals.
I use Saati IR26 diluted 1/4.     Works well.
