poison wire [RE-wrenches]

[Ray Walters]

Can't tell you the poison type, but it absorbed into my skin similarly to
gasoline ie. it wouldn't wash off for several hours. I starting wearing
gloves more often and use conduit with THHN instead of USE whenever
possible.It dissipates after a year or so, the stuff I've got laying around
now hardly has any odor at all.The distrubitor should have HAZMAT sheets on
file for it, I'll try to pick one up next time I'm there.
