I think I told you that story, redneck stupidity at its finest, cold out side, a nice slow gas fire to warm my sore back, some ants getting inside, away from the cold, can of brake clean in one hand, beer in the other, guns in the floor, spray the ants and KER-WHOOOOOMMP.
I set my shirt, worn out jeans, carpet and the friggen ants on fire.
Yea, should have been a video of that, drunken redneck doing the ole rolling on the floor on fire.

Yep, sometimes I amaze myself, better to burn out than rust.

As long as the guns were OK, no problem...

CRC Brake Cleaner was the only thing that would kill the monster Huntsman we had a couple of years ago (Leg span about the size of my finger span and you could hear it walking about) What wasn't clever was vacuuming it up with the Dyson while it sat in a puddle of brake cleaner. There was a small thump as Huntsman hit the base of the drum followed by a somewhat larger wooomph as the brake cleaner fumes hit the motor.

Haven't seen Wurth products on the shelves here in OZ, but recently spotted a Wurth van parked up locally.

Würth was a super fast growing company when I worked at the German autohaus in the mid-80ies. I remember the rep came every week in his Mercedes E-Class company car, dressed in a nice suit, and went to the warehouse to check the stock of everything. They supplied anything from nuts and bolts to chemicals (cleaners, underbody protection, protective wax for the inside of auto bodies, adhesives,...

I saw him some other time on the weekend, in torn jeans, cowboy boots, and tattoos all over his arms and chest... unusual to see such guys in a Mercedes E-Class at that time in Germany (probably not unusual now).

Good guy, good company, good products! I wish you could buy them locally, but I haven't seen them anywhere.

More like fried Hepa Filter and burnt dust.

Huntsman from Wikipedia

While frequently very large – in Laos, Heteropoda maxima males can attain a legspan of 250–300 mm (9.8–11.8 in) – they are not deadly to humans. They do bite if provoked, but the victim will suffer only minor swelling and localized pain, and will recover in a day or two. Some larger types resemble tarantulas, and that term is sometimes loosely applied to them by Australians as well as the similar-sounding slang name 'triantelope'.[2] Huntsman spiders can generally be identified by their legs, which, rather than being jointed vertically relative to the body, are twisted such that the legs extend forward in a crab-like fashion.
In Australia reputed to have venom possibly fatal to very small babies and infirm elderly. Urban folklore suggests their most dangerous aspect is there propensity to cause accidents in the home and in cars caused by the shock factor of their size and sudden appearance (frequently from behind sun visors) .

Wurth Products are not for retail sale if you follow the rules of the agreement.
A case of 12 is $60 if you need some. 8>)

Mark go ahead and sell it - the more the merrier.

Screw the spray, I see a 12 inch spider I am going for the 12 gauge if close enough or the 1911.

they do that to protect the reps who work off of commission.

The other company that I really like is BG products, they have a penetrating oil that is by far the best I have ever used, it is to penetrating oil what the Wurth brake clean is to brake clean.
Then there is the rest of the BG product line.

BG has some fantastic products. One of them that I swear by is the Cooling System Cleaner. For penetrating oil, I prefer Kroil.
