Nozzle & White Gas Question;

[Jamie]

Way back when, I worked in a sign shop (for a few years) we cleaned our plastic or plex sign faces etc with white gas and would get rid of 'static electricity attached' chips with a air nozzle that had a radio active chip in it. Has anybody tried using white gas as a replacement of DNA? Has anybody used one of those anti-static-electricity nozzles?

I'd be afraid of using white gas in an enclosed shop. The flash point for the vapors in relatively low.

White gas is just gasoline without the additives. Dangerous stuff.

Use a dryer sheet or an anti-static spray

OBTW - Dryer sheets are great bug repellers in the summer

Cheers

I've worked w/ the air nozzle you're referring to, 'way back when I was painting (NO KIDDING!) Mickey Mouse telephones. They're pretty slick. They're also very tightly controlled, and I don't believe an individual could gain access to them. I know that we also used another de-statitizing system later which did not utilize the atomic particle, but can't recall who made them. Check plating shops, especially ones that operate vacuum metallizing systems. Good luck.
