I don't think collodian is available in the states?  Couldn't lacquer thinner be used instead of ether...scary!  I would like to try collodian...in a hammer that is.

Ahh.... you can choose to ventilate the room.... but
personally being heavily influenced by the late 60's I just
turn on the fan... and point it at myself. :)

That being said. Collodian can be quite safely used and I
would think when it comes down to it that a bit of ether
would not be any worse for you then a bit of lacquer thinner
fumes... anyone know this for sure ??
