Electronics stores used to carry spray cans of the same stuff that was used by manufacturers in their flus washing baths. But you can't get it anymore. I think it was called 1,1,1 Trichloroethane. The supposedly "safe" stuff that's replaced it is very harsh on human skin and you sure as heck do not want to breathe any of it. "Safe" my backside. :P ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
