Has anyone tried soaking the entire chain in it overnight yet? Do you prep a new chain first?
So the solvent is mostly hexanes which are quite flammable. Not crazy flammable like the lower boiling components of gasoline, but more so than the higher boiling fractions. Think of it as a little worse than charcoal lighter fluid. Once again I advise caution. AT least no significant toxicity issues other than the minor methanol component.
