Postscript:
I'm susceptible to migraines induced by solvents, so I'm a bit more paranoid around chemicals than most people. Not pictured is the high volume fan I used to ventilate the already wide open garage.
I just read that the nitrile gloves that I used are a poor choice for toluene or methylethyl ketone (recommended by North Water), or the acetone that I actually used. This surprised me, as nitrile is an excellent choice with many solvents and lubricants. Although the exposure was trivial, and acetone has been used by countless women for decades in fingernail polish, I'd prefer to use butyl gloves next time I play around with vinyl adhesives.
Wanted to share this guys, I'm new here but if you have tried all the other VPS providers out there only to be upset at the speed of the desktops,
than I suggest you try the following link on this post. Been there for sometime now and have over 12 sites ranked number one.
The tools all work the uptime is great and best of all the support answers :)
Yes they actually answers you in a good time. WOW.
have a good day! And hope to meet more people here!
