Yeh,

Anything with an acetone base is highly toxic. At seventy I have 
Peripheral Nueropothy, a deterioration of the nerves in my feet which 
results in balance problems.from working with Celastic, Contact and 
rubber Cement, It is absorbed by touch through the skin and in the 
lungs when a respirator is not used. Bad stuff and has been 
responsible for other disabilities such as Parkinson's and liver 
damage.

MANY PUPPETEERS WHO HAVE WORKED CARELESSLY WITH THIS STUFF ARE NOW 
SUFFERING THE CONSEQUENCES

BRUCE CHESSE
