    Better than your eyes!

    I took a face full of POE oil spray Thursday and just had to wipe my glasses off, they were still good.

    I agree.

    I can't say that I've ever ruined a pair of glasses from oil/refrigerant spray, but I also try to not to make a practice of spraying myself in the face with refrigerant and oil...

    Haha it wasn't one of my better moments. Pulled the 410-a to pressure check a system and had it down to 5psi, went to pull the schrader and did suction first, there was a lot of oil just sitting at the valve and enough pressure to spray me.

    The really dumb part was I spent 2 hours on this new install just to call around and find out no one had set the charge. It didn't have a leak, it was 5lbs low. My ticket said two other techs had confirmed the charge. Added the refrigerant and all was good... minus me sprayed down with oil : ).

    Got to be careful with getting oil in your eyes. One of the guys at work is also with the Fire department. He got hydraulic fluid in his eyes at an accident site and didn't wash it out. Thought he was going to loose his sight, he now wears glasses, as it changed his eyes.

    That gets my vote for the most unhelpful comment of the year.
