A buddy of mine's father owns a oilfield rental company and has large containers of degreaser concentrate so he gave me about two gallons of it.
So how do I figure out how to cut this? Is there a danger of it being "too concentrated"?
I've got some old mesh and some brand new busted mesh I could test it on... what kind of test should I conduct?

Less mysterious now...

Who's getting crude on your screens? ;)
Isn't that stuff for "eating" petroleum products?
-
Wouldn't a degreaser that gets of crude be able to degrease our screens?
It's probably way more expensive, but when you don't have to pay for it. ;)

M.X. #1 is a proprietary blend of bacteria, nutrients and washing agents
That stuff would be fabulous for cleaning crude oil off a rock or a bird, but probably not your screens.
-
yeah, if you are worried about price, just use diluted dawn dishsoap....which also takes the crude off of birds.
-
i'm sure diluted down enough the product will work just fine. i use 701 as my ink degradent and dont degrease anymore. no problems yet.
-
Yeah, it has 7% sodium metasilicate and then the bio stuff... so it probably will work.
I dipped some mesh in it the other day to see how it holds up... I forgot about it... so it has time to dry on there for days now. That will be a good test. ;)

you will be fine until the bacteria eats your face. ;D

You trying to say I have a greasy face? :p
-
Nope, just hoping it's not flesh eating bacteria.
