DHMO for cleaning off bugs

Dihydroden monoxide - H20....

I got that part.

I'm just following up sarcasm with a bit more sarcasm.

Sorry, wasn't trying to be sarcastic, my meter's busted right now and
thought your reply was being serious. Anyway. Should add 8hrs from
bottle to keyboard I guess.

The first one was. I had no idea what DHMO was. Expanding it made a bit
more sense.

OK, in that case

After a short 1.5 hour sightseeing flight today I tried using 100% DHMO
to
clean the bugs off the leading edges. It worked surprisingly well.
Despite
my precautions, I got a little in my eyes and a lot on my hands and
arms,
but I haven't noticed any adverse effects yet.

I wouldn't use any cleaner on my plane unless I knew the reactive effects
of
it with paint and alluminum. Even so-called "green" cleaners may not be
safe for your plane.

Personally I just spray all the leading edges down with water, allow the
bugs to reconstitute for about 5-10 minutes and they wipe right off with
little effort. The microfiber towels you can get at Costco or Sams work
great. For the windows I use sprayway glass cleaner available at Wal-mart
for $2 per can. It works great, is not prone to streaking, and it's
completely safe for plexiglass.

Um, DHMO... dihydrogen monoxide.... I guess the whoosh was not
reading closely enough?

I guess so. You got a MSDS for that?

Hell, I've been using that stuff for years and it hasn't hurt me! In
fact, I sometimes even drink the stuff!


I usually try to purify mine with a 'wee bit of whiskey' before I drink it.

I've found that mixing it with bourbon reduces the hazards.

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.

Yes it is. I once had a work comp claims adjuster that requested all
MSDS sheets for an employee that got hurt working at a car wash. I sent
a copy of that along with the other sheets.

She tried to bill be for both a new keyboard and new office chair.

DHMO is a very dangerous substance and should be avoided at all costs!
It is responsible for a number of deaths each year. Read about it!

Thanks, Margy! And thanks to everyone else who warned me about the dangers
of DHMO. I am going to return the remainder of the gallon can my A&P sold me
and see if I can get my $87.15 back!

Jon

Not only that, but fish fµ¢# in it.
