[CAUT] Getting lacquer out of hammers

[David Love]

It depends on what you're doing.  If you are soaking it like Fred (a very
nice set up btw) then you will need to dispose of it.  If you are soaking
the hammer over the top then there won't be enough run off to worry about.

Actually that sounds like a good idea if you knew what the mixture
was...this stuff is toxic and we all need to think about what we do with
it...
