I had a great visual image then of you picking off wasps with a water pistol full of foreshots, lol.

I use mine for cleaning too, I have used them as panel wipe before when spraying a car, seemed to work OK!

It is the best stainless steel cleaner I have...also for sterilising my Laboratory glass spray on light burns off...all good, probably not hospital sterile but good enough for winery lab.

I am assuming that this was a joke.

There may be other people who read this that do not realise that fact and may follow your “example”.

Foreshots can be made up of acetone (nail varnish remover) and other harmful compounds – I think it is dangerous to say that they can be drunk.

Please be careful when posting.

Could a little bit of foreshots be put into the petrol tank for an engine cleaner?
Isn't injector cleaners have alcohol in them?

Foreshots also have water in them.

In general, it is not a good idea to put water in your petrol tank.

Can foreshots be used as an Antifreeze in a car cooling system.

I currently keep and use my foreshots as an amazing cleaner.

I swap mine for a Hogget from a local farmer who has a small Bio-Diesel plant. And no I have never shagged a Hogget. :D

Very true, I have a friend [ a retired chemistry teacher ] who used to distill his own hooch. He had a sever addiction to alcohol and used to drink heads middle and tails the whole lot. My friend today is blind at 56 and has recently been diagnosed with dementia. A very sad and severe advert to anyone contemplating drinking the heads!!!!
