More than likely the solvent in question was carbontetrachloride. That's what was used prior to my AF time (starting in 1981), when we used PD-680. We also had trichlorethaline and MEK.
Regardless of the solvent in question, if you like your liver (and other various parts), you'll wear the appropriate protective gear, avoid the fumes and use it properly. Nasty, nasty stuff. all of them. de WM4B Mike Kathleen, GA From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Brown Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2008 12:40 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Scotchkoat Take it seriously when they say something has been proved to cause cancer. I have a buddy who lost his leg to cancer and they traced it back to a solvent he used as a jet engine mechanic in the Air Force. He managed to live through it, but minus a leg. They proved beyond a doubt that it was the solvent that caused the cancer. Sorry I don't remember just which solvent it was - 73 - Jim W5ZIT --- Paul Finch <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:dpaulfinch%40ntbb.net> > wrote: > That's why you DON'T get it on your skin any longer. > Have to tell you > though, when I was growing up I raced slot cars and > we had some sticky stuff > we put on the tires to make them hold better on the > track.
