Methylene chloride residuals as silicon layer

Hey all, I ran across something in a post, that I don't full understand, maybe one of you can explain it to me. The individual said this " We flashed-off the methylene chloride and used the residual to put a boundary layer of silicone in the wheel bore after polishing, and we picked up some speed" What I don't understand is what do they mean by (flashing off the methylene chloride). Thank in advance for you input.
 
Interesting, thanks. I don't know the person, but this was his id (murphken) on the forum I ran across. If this is something I shouldn't of posted, please delete. I was just curious, sorry.
 
A variation of this was posted by pony express in the wheels and axles section of this forum, "Silicon on Wheels", transferring the silicon with a pipe cleaner.
 
Ive tried evaporating jig in a bottle. it seems to evaporate about half the volume. it was early in my prep quest and found no speed gain. However that's not to say it wouldn't work with another prep technique or process.
 
The best way to deal with methylene chloride is to not have it there in the first place.
 
Methylene chloride, sounds poisonous to me.

Especially if you were to "flash it off".
 
If you try this, I have not, you need to be extremely careful heating anything with chlorine or any like substance. Chlorine gas is deadly!!!
 
Flash usually refers to the point at which a liquid turns into a vapor (water is 212 degrees, propane is like -150 something). So I'm guessing they are suggesting application and allowing the chemical to flash off. I would not add an ignition source to anything that
you spray other than slowly warming, but watch the auto ignition point. Also be careful with things with ene in the end of the word. Usually those are cancer causing chemicals. ( example: benzene)
 
Well, before you died did you by chance test a car out with this new process to see if gave you any speed gains. Just sayin, if your dead it won't matter now right/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif

I am typing this now from the morgue, I wish I would have seen ET's post sooner. Goodbye all....../images/boards/smilies/wave.gif

Might as well spill QuickTime's secret before you kick off....

To be honest that was all in fun because if I had a secret like Quicktime says he has, then that I wouldn't tell a guy like me in a million years... that would be dangerous.
 
I think someone said they would try this out. Has anyone tested this yet. I'm waiting for my jig-a-loo to come in to try it, but thought I would ask if anyone else had done anything with this.
 
Just for fun, I sprayed Jig on a flat stainless steel surface and let it sit. Within 20 minutes much of the "liquid" had evaporated, leaving a residual viscous like spot in the middle of the spray area (and I assume, the silicone coating over a larger area). I took that residual viscous stuff and stuck it onto the surface of a junk wheel I had lying around and it still ate the surface...pretty nasty....

I let it sit overnight (12 hours), for the most part the amount of that viscous stuff remained the same and again stuck it onto the junk wheel, and it still pulled some stuff off (black stuff came off when I wiped the area gently)

Bottom line for me is I dont want that stuff anywhere near my wheel bores directly....not without John's oil and a red rocket wax in between it and my bores....!

I did the same with the blue teflon (but the new version without wax unfortunately)....it leaves a whole bunch of the residual viscous stuff that doesnt disappear even after 24 hours....kinda like a goop...but didnt eat my wheels like the jig at least

Guess the discussion would be which is better...a substance that dries and leaves very little "goop" and just a very thin layer of whatever slick material it carries (teflon or silicone or something else), or something that leaves more of a gel like layer over which the oil in the bores slides over rather than on or close to the nail surface itself....Have no clue myself which is right or better LOL...likely its combination of a variety of things and the interaction between all the products as stated in other posts...but might be fun to fool around with or at least think about while your stuck in traffic!
