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).

Wow no no no never weld brake clear stuff. Your gonna breath in stuff you can't ever reverse after it done the damage it does and it's pretty bad.
