..maybe I'm on long term bonus time, but some aero modellers have messed
around with methanol and castor oil for decades.  We do however worry
about epoxy glues and paints, there is an individual and appearantly
accumulating tolerance limit, some oldtimers can mess around for decades
with no visible effects while a few unfortunate souls lose their health
building their first model.
