On my bottle of CA Accelerator It sales Warning: Combustible Liquid;
Contains synthetic hydrocadeons and aromatic amine. Use with adequate
ventilation. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors. Do not induce vomiting
if ingested. In case of eye or skin contact, flush with water. Keep
out of reach of children.
So I would say that it would be harmful & toxic.
The first time I used Thin CA with an Accelerator Was on two long pieces of
1/8 " sq hardwood. When I added the Accelerator, it looked like it was going
to explode. It started popping, pouring out smoke, and a lot of little white like
worms came out from between the hardwood. I thought it was going to burst
into flames. The Accelerators on the market now, will not do this any more.
The older Accelertors where very hard on you. The vapors would make my
eyes, lungs burn. The new Accelerators don't.
CA is not very good when exposed to water. It is not one of the recommended
uses. I have had a friend say the baking soda works to make the CA set-up
faster. But I have never tried it.
