Please be very careful when using Kroil products. Absorbed through the skin, it will damage your liver.
I realize it used to be sold in stores (I bought several cans in an old hardware store on the way the Greensboro a few years ago), and is available on eBay, but Kroil is now intended for industrial use in a controlled environment only, and in no-longer packaged or intended for retail sale or home use.
When using Kroil, be sure to wear chemical-resistant gloves, and don't inhale the fumes. Absorbed through the skin, Kroil can also affect the central nervous system, and may cause kidney damage.
