All of these chemicals are irritants so you should avoid getting them
in your eyes, on your skin, or inhaled.

ethanol - causes skin and eye irritation. Ingestion can cause nausea,
vomitting, and inebriation. Chronic use can cause sever liver damage.

denatured alcohol - same as ethanal except it can kill you

IAP - harmful by inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption. May act
as an irritant.

acetone - may be harmful by inhalation, ingestion, or skin
absorption. Irritant - liquid may cause permanent eye damage (corneal
clouding). Skin contact may cause defatting (always in my case...).
Also called dimethyl ketone, methyl ketone.

ferric chloride - corrosive - causes burns. Harmful if swallowed and
in contact with skin. Prolonged contact may lead to dermatitis.

Dennis
