Yeah - but since Toluene is the major component of airplane glue- at least
you'll be happier using toluene over xylene.

Re: [Histonet] Toluene vs. Xylene
Not really and both are as dangerous and both should be avoided. As a
matter of fact xylene began to be used in the mid 1950s to substitute
chemicals like toluene, until it was found that both were equally
dangerous. Toluene is present in many mounting media.

Is there a significant difference between using xylene and toluene when
deparaffinizing embedding tissue?
Thank you,
James
