Okay this is what I have kind of found out about all these issues, others. There are KNOWN issues with IP Boards. Some issues can be fixed with different or updated dll files, some you just live with if you want to use the product. Some can be partially fixed by updating your browser, whatever you are using. Apperently when it comes right down to it Firefox doesn't have anything over IE or vis-versa when it comes to these issue. Some issues stem from by passing certian Service Pack updates or not ever getting them. Apperently there is something is SP2 that is important to making it all work better if you are using XP. According to IP Boards most are so small and insignificant that they are not intersted in addressing. They said they were basically W3C compliant were not going to sort out every issue that comes up with XY or Z browser or any of the many versions or updates of those browsers. There are some underlying issues that could cause instablitity and or brower conflicts (including skins) So somethings are just not getting fix, plus they are already writing 3.1 so they are not going to go back and rewrite a whole bunch of 3.0. It's good enough it works, I guess. It's just not a solid product, or so it seems.

That is pretty much everything petrolium based.

Me too, I like experimenting around with stuff. I shot artist tube oil out of my airbrush. I am also a big glue guy, I have maybe 40-50 different glues in my cabinet right now. I can say mostly they don't work or do what they are supposed to do, but the best stuff is always the most toxic. rubber cement... great stuff but just opening the can greatly increases your risk of blowing up your house.

I don't want to try to kill my self... I had two years of college chemistry so I kind of know what is and isn't possible at a basic level. It wouldn't be a residue that is left it would be actual Mec12 that absorbed into the wood. There was guy who was actually killed by MC in paint stripper but it was repeate exposure in the closed area with a portable heater over an 8 month peirod. So it can happen, but that was with a whole lot of paint stripper in a room with little or no ventilation and with a portable heater over an 8 month period. It was pretty much confirmed that it was phosgene gas that did that fellow in. You have just as much change of getting carbon monoxide poisoning from you Testors glue as you would getting phosgene poisoning from Tenax. You probably have greater odds of a landing gear fall off a airplane - crashing through your roof and landing on you killing you dead.

What? What residue. MC is an organic compound, which means you would have to have some chemical reaction to have a residue. If all the MC evaporates then there is nothing left, so that doesn't make sense really. And no you can't really change chemistry or physics. The stuff decomposes at 400-500 degrees, you can't get it to produce gas at a lower temp. It is just not possible. In any event, it sounds like you have to pretty much intentionlly make posion gas from MC.

I am not sure that is why becasue you can still readily obtaine Methylene Chloride. They were probably just not making any money selling. I am not sure what else they were doing to stay in business but just selling Tenax wasn't probably keeping them afloat.

I like that stuff too. But realistically the likelyhood of making phosgene gas with MC is very low, perhaps not as dangerous, if you did the same thing with Testors : decomposition with heat you make carbon monoxide, which will also kill you. Again if you have a condition where there is 500 degrees where you are building models you have a much more serious issue. FWIW the Testors stuff has a much lower flash point and more likely to catch fire than MC.

Yes, but the only way get phosgene gas from Methylene Chloride is to decompose it with heat 400-500 degree and will ingnite at just over that. I would have to say if that happens you have more serious problems than phosgene gas. Overall it is considered to be one of if not the safest welder type cements. So unless you are using Elmers white glue there is no perfectly safe answer to assembling a plastic model.

So what are you using?

must have been because it is showing $22 + $8 shipping now.

That might works, it is different yet from Tenax, ProWeld or #3, and has a lot less methylene chloride. Methylene Chloride 30-60% Methyl Acetate 30-60% which is okay: finger nail polish remover. Methyl Methacrylate Monomer 5%

Yes, it is very volitile but it is the safest plastic welder solvents heathwise there is. Actually I think it makes clorine gas which is very toxic at 500 degrees.

It's not exactly the same. #3 is a cocktail of. Methylene Chloride 90% Trichloroethylene 9% Same thing as CA accelerator Methyl Methacrylate Monomer 1% Tenax and ProWeld was just Methylene Chloride Probably works okay though. I just don't really like the idea of Trichloroethylene, it has very high toxicity and has been banned from many uses and industry. It is also directly linked to Parkinson's 5ppm is considered the max safe level and #3 has 50ppm

There is something that is causing a fault in iexplorer > mshtml.dll

8 was supposed to address this.

me nether. All I know is there is something incomplete in the board script, I think.

Okay there is something not right with this board and IE. It keeps want to crash IE Unhandled exception at 0x3dc11308 in iexplore.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000028. here is the code break in the mshtml.dll 3DC11308 mov ecx,dword ptr [ecx+28h] urlmon.dll a possible hotfix?

and all your functions work? You editor works? you can see all the buttons you are suppose see, spell check?

they don't work.

Yeah, how normal is that, everythings fine til ya start messing with them eh?

Yeah, I think it's still kind of in beta. 3.1 is in developement so I wouldn't expect to see many 3.0 updates.

told ya it was the skins...

worked for me in both basically the same.

You want METHYLENE CHLORIDE AKA Dichloromethane. The smallest direct purchase of high grade is 4 liters of the stuff @ $140.00
