  • yeah. the factory was doing diecast parts at 1400° and the shortening was a mould release so the parts would pop out of the dies.

    the pressure that those machines push in molten metal plus the high temperature would vaporize the shortening and with 3-12 tons of pressure aerosolize it.

    Even after 5 years there I had a bit of a cough, but nothing as bad as the old guys that had been around for 30+ years.
