[sdiy] Cutting Wire to Length

[cheater00 .]

I read that precisely paradichlorobenzene precludes any sort of oxides
building. I'm told people keep that stuff in tool boxes. This came up
on a thread where someone was complaining about their Craftsman tools
releasing butyric acid and smelling like puke. Apparently PDB masks
that quite well, which, among being inexpensive and preventing
corrosion is just one of its many virtues.
