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!
