I agree with Mr. Locker.
During my long and varied tenure in the electronics industry, toluene
was, and still is, one of the
materials that was (is) handled with utmost caution. It's not the kind
of material you want to have
in your home, or use, unless under highly controlled environments.
IMHO, no one should mess around with this material.
