Thread: .5 CrOx Crayon

One thing that I wonder about is that he is saying that the strop is to be cleaned with lighter fluid, but he seems to be saying (in Italian) "benzene," but lighter fluid is butane.

Does anyone care to speculate?

Butane is a gas at room temperature used in disposable gas lighters and torch lighters.. The fluid mentioned would be that used in old style zippo lighters (i.e. the second one on this list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighter_fluid).

When I watched the video, I thought he said "benzina" which is the Italian equivalent for petrol (U.K. members) or gasoline (US members).

I never thought he was referring to the stuff sold at the gas pump though and took it as a reference to the fluid used for Zippo lighters or to remove gunk that adhesive tapes and stickers leave on smooth surfaces.

Thank you. As my Italian comprehension is non-existent, I assumed his "benzina" translated to benzene but I was almost certain that was not correct.

Ya f your worried about chemicals , benzene would be one not to use. Tc
