But I know the other stuff works and its safe for rubber parts, so that's the only product iI would suggest. If you guys have something better and cheaper available, that's fantastic.
Dunno about the chem dip but the yamalube is diluted to make about 3 litres of product, so you get a fair bit to work with. And only need a plastic tub so that's no biggie.

that actually makes the cost about equal
Yes, chem dip eats rubber parts, as does carb cleaner, but you're supposed to get all those out of the carb before dipping it
Chem dip was around long before Yamalube, and has had a good rep since before I was born, so since that's what I was raised with, that's what I use
I've only heard 2 people talk about yamalube, so i'm leary of it, but that's not a surprise, as I also don't fully trust Hydrogen peroxide
it doesn't sting, so how can it be lethal to germs
That's probably why I don't trust the yam stuff 'it doesn't eat rubber, how can it be lethal to varnish'
Maybe I should be more open minded and give it a try, once my Chem dip is no longer good
I can always use the Chem Dip can to store / use the yamalube stuff
