Eds red is a great cleaning solivent and is easily made at home so i thought i would post the recipee for the forum members who dont allready have it
You can mix your own "Eds Red" very easily and inexpensively... it is nothing more than Gen'l. Hatcher's formula for Frankfurt Ordnance Solvent updated to modern materials.
To make one gallon mix:
1 qt. Type III Automatic Transmission Fluid
1 qt. Kerosene
1.qt. Turpintine or Mineral Spirits
1. qt. Acetone
Mix in a gallon metal can such as a paint can.
You can use a pan such as used to chaing oil in a car to soak parts for cleaning.
This solvent is pretty strong, but it cleans better than anything I have run across... just a note tho the acitone will evaporate if it is not stored in a tightly sealed container
