Everyone,

Lomcevak is correct about Xylene being nasty stuff. So are all the other solvents I mentioned. I always use chemical gloves and a paint filter mask when using any of this stuff. (Maybe that's why several of my modeler friends appear to be brain damaged!) Also a fan blowing a little air through my shop. All of this stuff will melt latex gloves! Also most people don't realize that these chemicals absorb through the skin in addition to harming your lungs. Be careful and don't use them in an area with a water heater pilot light!
