PB blaster and solo cups

hey guys, just a PSA here. please be careful when using SOLO cups as catch basins. I was just soaking down some bolts for the scraper bar on my plow (replacing it and the bolts. they have been kicking around in a truck bed tool box and got rusty) I let them soak for a bit and came back about 5 mins later and the cup was deforming and leaking. Just be weary of what you put where. I have also melted SOLO cups with SNAP carb cleaner, Gumout and breakleen'..
stay safe guys

One of PBlasters pitches is the fact it can melt plastic. It says it right on the can lol.

it DID, not anymore

Gasoline does the same thing with certain plastics. It sure does with solo cups. Dont ask me why i have gas in cups....

Years ago I was working on something, and absent-mindedly put gasoline in a styrofoam cup, so I could dribble it into a carb. Within seconds, I was staring at a bottomless cup. Oops.

I use Tim Horton's cups for this stuff, as there's always a couple in my car.

we dont have Hortons around me. there is one about 20 mins north, but for a dadgum coffee? nah.. i'll stick with Stewarts coffee

Oh, it's worth it. It's not just coffee, it's Timmie's. Y'all don't know what you're missing!

Iv'e used PB blaster on my stuck tranny pulley. it helped a little but we still had to use a 60 ton press to get it off.

I just use old rattle can tops. They work great for gas, oil, bolts, nuts or what ever. Ive got tons of them floating around my shop.

Check that its PET plastic bottles and cups. That can withstand everything.
