PSA: Be Careful With That Old Tru-Oil

[Garufa]

When farting around in the garage and coming across an old bottle of Tru-Oil, do not take the lid off and squeeze it while you are looking down the hole, lol.

Even if you don’t hear or feel anything shaking the little brown bottle, there is a skin on top of the still liquid contents that wants to break free.  The juice will squirt through the dried barrier when coaxed and give one (me) a Tru-Oil mask and ruin a  perfectly good orange T-shirt.

I ought to know better.

No.  Cigs cost too much these days to take that kind of chance.

Doing questionably stupid things is not restricted to the young! I have done a bunch. Some recently.

No...I'm not going to list them. Much too embarassing.

Just glad all is well with the eyes. No loss if you had gotten the Orange Tee! LOL!

Yikes! What a surprise that was!

I have started using this in my cans of finish that don’t really “dry” but actually cure with exposure to and reaction with oxygen.

It displaces the Nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere in the container with argon.

A year or two ago i was opening some driveway sealer. It had one of those plastic seal caps on it. I gave it a nice hard yank and the contents erupted like a kids baking soda volcano. luckily I was wearing a pair of sunglasses and had my mouth shut. I looked like Slimer got me from Ghostbusters. At first i was just shocked and then suddenly it started burning! I don't think i've run faster than I did to the garden hose. Took a fair amount of work to get it off and it tingled for probably a good hour or two afterward.
