Sylvia, when you phrase something like "resorting to acetone/laquer thinner"
your over looking the fact that in you everyday life you are exposing
yourself to far worse dangers then those. when you apply hairspray you
basically coating your hair in schellac and denatured alcohol, when you put
on the nail polish your applying laquer, gasoline is benzene (spell check)
based and have been proven to cause cancer in the inmate population,opps i
mean lab rats. we constantly expose ourselves to a battery of caustic and
deadly chemicals daily and with little regaurd for the dangers therein. At
least when we use acetone/laquer thinner we realise the dangers and use the
proper precautions. Mark & Peta  Bethke
