Kihansen: now that you mention it an old iron worker i knew said when he was in the army they would get stuff just covered in cosmoline. They expected them to wash that off with GI soap and water. He said they learned how to get carbon tetrachloride that will really cut it ! Years later he was so shaky we had to carry his coffee down in frontto the seating.He would then brace -up and drink it ! That carbon tet may not be to good for you !
