Xylene will also work.  (Equally bad for your liver.)   Richard   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Delaney Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2006 4:35 PM To: vfb@troutnet.com Subject: Re: [VFB] Calling all chemists   The solvent used in manufacure of Goop is toluene (sometimes called toluol or methylbenzene).  the stuff is not good for your liver and is flammable (not as flammable as acetone).  You should make sure you use this material in a well ventilated area.  A similar adhesive is E-6000, which is essentially identical to Goop, but the solvent is tetrachloroethylene, a solvent used in dry cleaning (also not good for the liver).  Others have used other mixtures of solvent, but I've used toluene with good results.
