Chemical Saftey Info

[atonal@planet.eon.net]

List,

	There was quite a buzz about methanol recently, and personally, I 
feel that we take for granted some of the chemicals we work with 
daily. Acetone (hammer hardener, including Fords), methanol, 
cyanoacrylate glue, and whatever is in ProTek (Tim, any chemical 
analysis?) are all referred to frequently on the list, and  spray 
lacquers, thinners, solvents, graphite,  *magic goop* (you know, the 
concoction you made 18 years ago to fix pedal squeeks that you still 
have a large mason jar full of) are a few others that I can add off 
the top of my head. 

Here are some Web addresses for Material Safety Data Sheets on 
chemicals:

This is a listing of solvents and such sold by General Paint, with 
Material Safety Data Sheets on each product. 

	http://www.osha-slc.gov/OCIS/toc_chemsamp.html

A listing of chemical properties from the American Occupational 
Saftey and Health Administration. Extremely comprehensive.

Enviro-net has this search engine linked to the University of Utah 
Material Safety Data Sheet database. Better than than the OSHA site.
