It came with an MSDS, I read through it, but considered it to be
about as safe as all the other crap in the shop - NOT! Luckily it
has a pretty nasty smell so doing it outside is your best bet,
unless you like bad smells and getting sick ;-)
Now if the rest of my components show up sometime soon, I should be
able to test all these boards out this week to see if any of them
work. I really rushed through the design and layout phase and
didn't have my head in it at all so if they do actually work, I will
be pleasantly surprised :-)
