Thanks again, Keith, for bringing a balanced viewpoint, much as I do like to veer :-). Though hardly a chemophobe, even I would be horrified to take pure methanol internally even in the minutest of quantities. I'm cautious but not paranoid about the occasional whiff of vapor, and less cautious still about absorption through the skin. I wouldn't immerse my hands in it, but a spill or splash vapor- izes almost instantly and has no time to be significantly absorbed. -K _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
