Rusty,
Methylene Chloride is what Lancair
recommends for cleaning prior to bonding. Use high quality rubber gloves, a good
respirator and good ventilation and there will be no problem. One other note;
methylene chloride is the main ingredient in plexi-glass solvent. As an
alternative, Lancair ok’s acetone (ever read the msds on acetone?)

As for
toxicity... the MSDS is downright scary.
Thanks to everyone for the cowl cleaning
info. I plan to cut out the old scoop (to get it out of the way), then
hose the whole cowl with some kind of purple power degreaser. I'll follow
that with Brakleen that I just picked up, particularly in the areas of
interest.
BTW, if I'm not mistaken, methylene
chloride is what did a number on Leon years ago. Based on that
alone, I'll pass.
