Thanks for several good advices.
It seems the Zeronite must have been a germicide-based coolant, because it stayed fine for a long time and attacked paint (and seemingly also rust!). Would it help if I apply car-wax when cleaning the machine? I will probably see if I can hunt down a can of the same stuff again. It was given to me because the machinist didn't like the smell of it. It did however smell a lot better than the goop!
Does anyone here recognize the name? I tried to google for it but did not come up with anything useful. So I don't know where to call to get it. |
