    Please educate me on how to clean this red Bonney pouch

    I got good results on plastic with Griot's Interior cleaner. I was looking for a non-silicone cleaner. Plus it does not need to be rinsed, just wiped off.

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Looking at their Chicago classified ads over the decades, they hired drop forgers & helpers, grinders for light forgings, polishers for same, drill press hands, and cadmium platers.
