    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Cleaning plugs with Evaporust

I just completed an experiment soaking some fouled plugs in evaporust.It completely decarboned them after 3 days, and left the ceramics bright white. I soaked them in alcohol to remove the residue evaporust leaves,beause I didn't want to take the chance on it burning or causing cracked ceramic. I haven't used them yet.

This seems like a painless way to clean up plugs. Am I missing any problems?

carb cleaner works well also...
 
Should be fine as long as you rinse em off. Oven cleaner works good too.
 
I have one of those plug sand blasters, a good blasting, blow it out with air, then hose it out with some Berrymans. Then I inspect them to make sure the ceramic isn't cracked. Word of caution just don't get carried away with the plug cleaner, a couple seconds is all ya need.

the only problem i can see is you have to wait 3 days, when they can be cleaned in minutes with the right spray
 
Yes, it is slow. But in my shop, I have time, and use what I have on hand. No reason that plugs shouldn't soak while I work on something, so long as they are ready on time. One more idea in the bag of tricks...

I will scrounge up some Berryman's though. One can never have too many kinds of magic juice in the workshop
