A story and question for all with MUCH more experience than I.....

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?
