[Histonet] Xylol substitutes addendum

Wed May 10 14:56:51 CDT 2006

That's not necessarily true.  You have to check with your water company.
Some of the substitutes are no better than xylene about disposal.  If it is
not miscible in water it probably has to be hauled or something like
that....it happened to us.
