Sorry Rob,
I think I might have touched a nerve there,
I completely agree with you, but am also aware that some folks are now used to the modern "safe" world where no-one would dare publish a "tips" book with anything even mildly risky in it.
My opinion is that everything is safe to use, providing you know what precautions to take, I used to drive around town daily with a "Depleated Uranium Kettle" full of Cobalt 60, in the back seat of my car. I got that job after I finished up working in the BTX Plant (BTX = Bezene, Toluene and Xylene) Later I did some work in Fire testing of Propane Tanks.
But most folks nowadays just don't know how to work with that sort of "cranky" stuff.
I did look at the cover and especially liked the Nitro-Glycerin reference and would love to read the Japanning section.
Best regards
Rick
