Once upon a time, I tried using a rasp sorta bit in my drill to enlarge some holes in prepreg. To make a long story short, the rasp caused the prepreg to smolder and in NO TIME I was FLEEING my house! (With the aid of my whole house fan, I made the whole block stink!) ... on to the present discussion involving PVC conduit..... >From my rasp barbecue experience, it would seem that PVC is just one of MANY parts in our plastic toys that give off nasties when ignited. I'd also like to echo Marv's (I think) comment about being particularly concerned with stuff in the cabin compartment. At long last the question: Should we worry about PVC in the wings when we have so many other sources of noxious gas out there? -Ed McCauley Lancair IV-P Milford, NJ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html
