 Good morning! 
What, may I ask, is slimy steel?  
 Heya! Steel covered in heavy cutting oil. It's disgusting.  
 So...what's the best cure for slimy steel? I understand things that I'd normally consider using (e.g., acetone) would be a bad idea when welding...

What's the best (and safest) way to get that off?
