Question is the faom that good??? - May 10th, 08, 05:57 AM

i have seen the videos and looks good but is it really that much better than using plain old chem??

most of the videos show pretty easy grease, is it all it's cracked up to be?

No, it's one of Matt's elaborate April Fools jokes that he is world-famous for (like TGP). I personally don't think they are funny in the least.

Wait 'til April 2009. A bunch of people are going to have egg on their faces.

It only works on easy grease, don't think that it is going to change the way hoods are cleaned. Just another tool that you may want to have in your arsenal.

It is VERY dangerous. I have heard of one guy that got some on his foot and had to have a skin graft and one guy who got it in his eye and was in the hospital for 3 days. It will burn much worse that a regular chemical mix so wear all the proper safety gear when using it.

Matt, I like seeing you responsible. I like this Matt...

I have seen many get hurt as well, great advice on safety Gear.

I will share a recent story. We pour our own chemicals.

Our raw material comes in 55, we cut them ten to one out of the drums. after we cut safety gear is still used but really not likely anyone would get burned.

We have three brothers working and the one got promoted to pour chemicals at my PHX shop that i never go by. All on his own got the brite idea that if i make this hotter we pour less and my brother will use less and we will be working less.

Make a long story short the brothers got a special batch. Well, one day someone else used there truck and went out to do a job. YEP, got burned by the raw material. fortuantly he did not get hospitalized. If the chems had reach eyes or any other extremidys, a nightmare....

All is good, but silly me hasa now changed the process, ONLY SUPERVISORS CAN POUR AND ITS NOW LOCKED DOWN>
