One thing to note about the triclorotriflouroethane, aka "trike" - it's a
carcinogen unlike it's replacement triclorotriflouroethylne. I used gallons
of the stuff as a degreaser backk in the military before spraying
polyuerethane on missiles (another really bad product for your body) and
then they tell us that it's a dangerous product in more ways than we've been
led to believe.
Don't dump it, just use gloves when you use it. Seems the trich can be
absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream and eventually wreak havoc
with your liver many years down the road.

Subject: Re: What do you people use for tape cleaning ?
I also have that cleaning kit, but both (totally empty) bottles are marked
"Freon TF"... But I still love my genuine IBM Tape Unit Cleaner, "Contains
Trichlorotrifluoroethane, isopropyl alcohol." Should I ever run out of tape
drives to clean, just add water and then its Sterno, hehe
