Good idea to bring this to the list, Roger! I'd like to know which chemicals that we commonly use are the MOST toxic and which are the least. One that concerns me is the monomer liquid used in the acrylikey ivory chip repair system. That stuff is so incredibly volatile - you can smell it instantly when you open the container. It smells particularly nasty too! Another is the accelerators used for super glue - another really volatile chemical that worries! But it comes in so handy! Also I wonder how terrible the super glue fumes are themselves. When treating a pinblock you can really get a lot of fumes going. Those chemicals that I have used in peoples home's on occasion, so I am particularly interested in these. Here are others I'm interested in: Epoxy Protek products: Protek CLP and Prolube Lacquer thinner and acetone Naptha Teflon Powder McLube Teflon Sprays Thanks Roger!
