Acetone may not be that bad, I have heard that from other sources.

Methanol is a real hazard to breath or for skin uptake, or so I was trained a long time ago. I would look into it further before I assumed a clean bill of health for Methyl Hydrate, if I was you. YMMV, and as I said, the training on which I base the comment is not recent.

When I talked to here about acetone in the workplace, my sister the beautician said that

1.    She knew of no adverse health effects from breathing it at the
salon for years, at low concentrations.
2.   No ventilation of its fumes was done at her workplace.
3.   The only workplace precaution regarding acetone was that NOT
       more than one gallon of it was allowed to be in the salon at a time.

Hence, I will not hesitate to experiment using the acetone/methanol mixture indoors w/ closed windows.    However, I will first get a sealed tin to store the flammable chemicals in when not in use, and a pair of chemical safety goggles.
