wow, I too am glad you posted this, and admittedly, almost didn't read due to the title and figuring it was either some silly pic or story, but am sure glad I did! I use brake clean to clean my race car all the time - it knocks the grime right off of stuff - so I use it religiously and appreciate the caution!
Feel REALLY bad for that guy too, holy crap, he is going to have problems for life from one little puff of smoke, and it is an honest mistake he made IMO and any one of us could do something like that and assume it's no big deal. I wouldn't have put the argon and burning brake cleaner together (especially at 4 ppm little smoke tuft) just because I saw a name like phosgene nor would I take the time to look it up before proceeding in the garage!
