Is it that much better than the new stuff without it?? I use the new stuff
a lot and I think it works very well. I have been told that the old stuff
is really foul if you get it hot while drilling or turning..

I just found out from my local dealer that until existing stocks are used up, the 
old Tap Magic (the stuff with the evil trichlorethane) is still available. Call your 
local supplier, guys...

Don't fall for the "existing stock" business.  I spoke to Steco at
this year's IMTS.  They still manufacture the stuff, and any of their
dealers can order it.  WW Grainger stocks it.  MSC says they will not
order it.

Worse than foul, Tric. generates Phosgene (sp?) gas when heated high
enough.  A good way of getting a 'healthy' whiff is to be smoking a
cigarette and inhale the vapours through it. Probably only need two quick
whiffs and yer snuff.

They once used Tric. in fire extinguishers too.

Stick with the new Tap Magic.

What I REALLY liked was the VERY old Tap Magic (early-1960's).  I worked 
equally well on steel or aluminum (no need for 2 cans) and it smelled 
like cinnamon!  Then they changed the formula, and the first time I tried 
it on aluminum, it ate my tap and made purple smoke.  We used to get it 
at the surplus yard when I was a kid, and finding a can with more than a 
a few tablespoons left was a treasure.

Frankly, I don't like Tap Magic.  Besides eating my tap 30 years ago, 
I've found that Cool-Tool II works better on everything I've tried, and 
you still don't need 2 flavors.

The old stuff was absolutely correctly named "Tap Magic".

One of the things I hated most was using Tap Magic when I was starting
out... I think that stuff rots your pipes. In the course of time  I reached
the time in grade where no one was demanding I use it, so I made up my own
mixture of sulphurated cutting oil and Kroil. (This is also an effective
bug-bomb for when your boss keeps hanging around, just crank up the lathe
and any ol' piece of hard stuff, you'll fog him out of your area in no time
;)

I did not know it was still available.  I have an old can lying around.
