RE: Glyoxal?

Hi all,

I presume "took it outside" suggestion is when you harden in trays. I
assume it would be safe to use formalin indoors when using a very small
amnt. - such as brush sizing. (Think of 100ml %3 gelatin solution +
1.5ml formalin) Am I correct here?

TIA,
Loris.

Where do you get formalin, Chris? In NYC you need a doctor's
prescription, or maybe a mortician in the family. I can get the former,

if not the latter, but don't because I find it so painful to use indoors
&
don't like outdoors in winter. Plus, as I've said probably too many
times, glyoxal cleared better (for me, anyway).
