I was mechanics assistant on the family farm around then. My dad used to sit me down with the viscera of a tractor engine, hand me a brush and a bucket of gasoline (leaded, of course) and put me to work. Had to be terrible for me. I wouldn't trade it for anything.I wrenched from 1973 -1978. Not a long time.
Nobody wore gloves. Lots of oil changes, trans services, bearing packing, among other things. Covered in used lubricants every day. Some days I washed my hands in the varsol parts cleaning station, then GoJo.
Was that bad for me? They say it is.
Pretty much the same, gas was the universal solvent. Used it to clean up after painting the fence too.I was mechanics assistant on the family farm around then.

Hoppes and Balistol smell greatYes, I’ll wear glovers, but not because I’m concerned about chemical contact. I just don’t like how it’s hard to wash the smell away.
