@aircooled Bruce just reminded me of some solvent I used to clean ink platens on old, mechanical cash registers when I was in my teens working for National Cash Register for a year. I can't remember the name of the stuff, but any callouses on your hands just dissolved over time to smooth skin. Made my high voltage RF burns from my Ham Radio transmitter just melt away. Only decades later did they ban the stuff for being carcinogenic.

Trichloroethylene, probably. TCE for short.

Yeah that stuff was bad. Besides ink, it was the other stuff newspapers bought by the barrel. In Central Florida (and I'm sure elsewhere) those barrels eventually got kicked into open pits and buried. Plenty of lawsuits resulted, but surprisingly little news coverage...
