Pete, I would be extra careful with Xlyene. The label on mine about caution and health hazards is scarier then anything I have in the shop. It says it is very explosive and causes cancer and birth defects, along with brain and nervous system damage. I used this once outdoors and was dressed in old clothes and gloves. Usually I am not squeamish about these kind of products but I give this one some respect.
