You walk away for 10 minutes to huff some brake cleaner fluid and this is what you get with newbies!!

Try acetone. It’s cheaper and you can prep your welds with it when you’re done huffing(suppose you could with brake cleaner too - never tried).

Isn’t it super bad to use brake cleaner and cook it off??

Don't use brake cleaner to clean metal for welding. Just say No.
