    Sorry, I just felt like it But I also mentioned, what of the risks to your health? I remember nn_step showing a pic of a torch burning up tubing... If that was him, ugh... dioxin...

    I used Scrubbing Bubbles on my MCW6002 block and it would work wonders on cleaning the inside. I have just used a bit of dishwashing detergent on a small piece of cloth rammed down the tubing on a coathanger to take the film right off.

    Do you know exactly how much PVC-based plastic tubing affects the environment? The impact is NOTHING compared to the rate at which deforestation and over-fishing are happening now. Why not concentrate on that? I mean, don't you think big commercial chemical labs who use Tygon in vast quantities know how to dispose of it properly? There are likely ordinances that dictate how tubing that carried chemical agents can be disposed of, even after sterilization in an autoclave. I'm sure they don't just walk down to the BP and toss nine thousand feet of old tubing in a dumpster.

    Why did you quote my latest post, about the health effects?

    Because you keep going on about the gases that are released by burning PVC pipe. Anyone dumb enough to do that needs a swift beating. My point is you're making a mountain out of a mole-hill.

    ahahahahahah i was goign to quote the same!!!

    But i am also curious on this super tubing. Also a quick question?

    Doesnt the scrubbing bubbles damage the copper radiator? or any of your blocks? Because this might be one hell of a easy way to clean out your parts.
