I considered the possibilities, Joe. My experience was with the smell of 
the solvent, which seemed very potent (not to mention disagreeable.) 
When Richard demonstrated it in Eugene, I managed to stay in the room 
till the break, then fled, but I stayed till the break only from some 
possibly misplaced sense of politeness. Knowing that Richard had used 
the product a lot, as he developed it, demonstrated it, and used it to 
repair keys, it seemed reasonable to wonder if it might have harmed his 
health. I never said it DID, I wondered if it MIGHT HAVE.

If you have solid information, as you assert above, why not just reveal it?

So, what is that solvent? If you tell me, since you seem to know all 
about it, I can look it up online and find out about it for myself.

Speaking only for myself, the solvent is why I won't use the product. I 
assume this might have been true of other people, as well. (Surely I'm 
not the only person sensitive to solvents?) If the solvent is a problem 
for other people too, and the safety sheets deal with it, then it's best 
we know about it. The product does a fine job of repairing chips otherwise.

If the list won't see any more of your flaming me about this, that is a 
Good Thing.
