[GreenKeys] Cleaning stuff, etc..

[scottjohnson1 at cox.net]

Based on the boatload of MSDS I have read over the years, this stuff is pretty benign.  BTW, When I was younger, I could slosh around in solventr all day, with no ill effects.  Now, the stuff pull every bit of moisture out of my hands, so I would suggest using the blue disposable gloves
(four bucks for a box of 100 at Hubba Feaight) when using the stuff since a good share of you guys are at least as old as I am.  (My wife says I'm old, and kids look at me like I'm old, so I must be old)
