[ARC5] MEK, benzene, acetone for Q dope.

Mon Mar 10 23:27:54 EDT 2014

Carbon tet was good stuff  I remember as a boy being sent to the 5 and dime store to buy little bottles of that stuff to be used by my mother or grandmother as spot remover.  I am not sure of its "out of the bottle" toxicity but I do remember that under heat it broke down into phosgene gas and that you could buy fire extinguishers that where nothing more than carbon tet  I also seem to remember the carbon tet fire extinguishers produced too little phosgene to matter unless you where in a really small unventilated place in which case the smoke from the fire would be as bad or worse.

Somewhat off topic but we have all heard the stories of head lice and bed bugs coming back.   DDT works really well against such vermin, the weaken birds eggs stories from DDT ingestion are base on a small number of really poorly conducted scientific research  the feed for the lab birds had no calcium  and humans can eat DDT in fractional pound does with no short term or long term effect.

A few months ago I found a recipe for DIY DDT.   It didn't look overly hard------
