Thread: White Water?

Hi,
I use full synthetic Callington 990. It is green but mixes fairly well clear. I have had splashes in my mouth and whilst it tastes vile i have had no bad effects from it. No problems with skin contact either.

Cheers,
Ew

Thanks EW . I hate to think what drinking my stuff would do. No doubt a good clean out

BP,

The MSDS on that product shows it is not a serious health hazard but has high irritancy especially for anyone with an existing condition (ie breathing problem or allergy) but you won't kill yourself using it

The MSDS does recommend using ventilation when using it.

BTW I was using the H&F green stuff but I see they no longer have it so I will nurture what I have left.

Thanks Bob. Thats pretty consistent with my experience. I"ll have to try and find something a little gentler on the breathing system which to be honest aint all that great. My youngest son tells me they had "Green stuff" at school 20 odd years ago that smelt great. Maybe thats what your using?
