But I only needed 2 gallons of mineral spirits to cover the hoist, turning it, which I later used for auto parts cleaning until it was diminished in quantity and really nasty. Then I poured it, as I do with all contaminated solvents, onto several layers of gigantic pieces of cardboard, with a tarp underneath ( cardboard from furniture stores-couch boxes and such ) out back in the sunshine, which allows the solvent to evaporate. There is much we do in this business which is environmentally "suspect", but I feel that it is far better that solvents evaporate, as opposed to landfilling, in which case they can cause much worse mischief in the form of groundwater coinatmination. Cheers, Thump P.S.: I think that the BEST way to clean a new chain hoist, actually, would be to blast it with a couple of cans of brake parts cleaner.
