All of the delivery companies are haywire right now.. I have a shipment of mills and bits that I ordered last Friday from Massachusets 2nd day air (ups) that hasn't made it out of the state yet, I have tools that were supposed to be delivered by USPS Monday that might just make it here today, the have been in Capitol heights md since Monday. Dhl Is the shining star they are only running a few hours late. I would do better selling attys door to door I believe.
Speaking as someone in the freight/logistics business, that whole New England area has been shut down since about 1 pm Monday. Nothing moved Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday into or out of the Boston area. Freight lanes are back open today,functioning relatively normally.

Guys if anyone can help please chime in. I just want the explanation of what happens to my atties when I cleaned them. I put several ones in a water cup with dish detergent and one squirting of isopropyl. I was planning to leave them for 8 hours, ended up leaving them for 18 hours. So some of the atties were clean as a whistle. The water became yellowish (detergent is green) and some atties posts or metal parts had greenish reddish patches. One drip tip had blackish residue. I noticed some grub screws were bleeding black as well. I am sure sure a good scrub would remove these away, I just wanted to know what causes this. Is it the water, the detergent, the alcohol, the long time etc... note that the reactor was not affected, it is original after all :D. Thanks.

I'd put my money on Phosphates...they can react with metals like copper, brass, tin, plating materials like nickel and chromium, etc...

In Canada/US, phosphates have been banned from dish detergents (which is why they suck now, but that's another topic)...but maybe in Greece it's still game on?...just a guess

I checked the label. No mention of phosphates. But maybe it is under some other name.
