Beryllium Oxide

[The Dark force of dance]

Y-ellow Y'all.
	I know Beryllium Oxide is damn nasty stuff. I'm pretty sure it is only
usually found as heatsink washers. Usually big fat T03 things. Pink in
colour if I'm not mistaken.

However I'm currently working with a heatsink of which the transistor
mounting bracket is kinda glued onto the heat-sink proper with A kind of
blue stuff. It's hard and brittle. It was once liquid but is now almost
like glass.

Things is. I accidently drilled into this stuff. It came up as a kind of
fine blue/glassy crystalline powder. Something like a fine blue sugar. I'm
a bit concerned about it knowing how devastating Beryllium oxide can be if
inhaled or ingested.

Anyone happen to know what this stuff is?

Thanks in advance.

Be absolutely Icebox.
