new use for carb cleaner
Well, this is somewhat Ford related...I discovered that carb cleaner works great to kill those weeds that pop up in the cracks in the driveway or sidewalk. At about a buck a can, it is much cheaper than buying roundup for 15 bucks a gallon.

Yeah, and all exoskeleton-wearing critters do too! They struggle for their last 4 steps, and bite the dust. Now after seeing the annihilation this stuff is capable of, how could you justify spending $5.50 on a can of Raid that insects laugh at you for spraying?

That's funny! I was wondering when someone would bring up the environmental issue !! Too funny!!
I should have tried that with that quart of used paint thinner I had. Rather than leaving it in the can in the sun for a few days to evaporate, I'd have a clean weed-free driveway!

I should have dumped that gallon of gasoline in the lake instead of the sewer, what was I thinking! Really, if there are any environmentalist or liberals, please send me a personal meassage, because I'll talk to you one-on-one and straiten you up without bothering these hard-working people. -TK

I tried it on a small section. It turns the weeds and grass brown for a week or so but it did not kill it. The air quality issue is probably a good one. Use a herbicide sparingly according to directions to kill it down to the roots.

This use is neither Ford or garage related but, carb cleaner works great for cleaning a [font color="blue"]Stainless Steel[/font] pistol.
It knocks the crud right out of the slide and reciever. Warning though, remove any plastic parts and [font color="red"]DO NOT[/font] use on a [font color="red"]blued finish[/font] becuase it will also remove the blueing. I learned this the hard way
