Posted: Just openned up a new 4 litre container of paraffin ready to soak my chains for a bit of a play tonight, to find that it is yellow.
According to the side label, this is because the nice people in the EC have decided that we might try to smuggle it across boarders, which is naughty, and the marker makes it easier to detect.
2 questions:
1) Does this yellow dye ("Euromarker") affect the MSDS of the stuff? 2) Will this lovely dye stain my clothes?

Posted: I wondered what that was - it looks vaguely like urine now. Quite disconcerting if you're not expecting it.

If you're not confused, you're not thinking about things hard enough.

Posted: I noticed that yesterday when I had a burn - I just thought the bulb in my torch was on the way out. While it's nice to know I don't need new batteries, I'm curious to know how much paraffin smuggling there is across Europe for the dye to be needed
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
