seriously? I wouldn't recommend that

It can't be any worse than raw chicken though. Once (recently

), there were some nuggets on top of my stove, and I thought they were cooked, but they were cold, so I thought they were old, but I was hungry... So I bit one and it tasted weird and was colder in the middle, so I spit it out and rinsed my mouth with water and it was all good. I was totally fine... In closing, I think I support kurt's idea. It's for the betterment of the forum. (can a mod please delete this post if anything happens to him?)

I live in california so i will tell you the truth. It's not that things will cause cancer if your in california. it's the fact that california is the cause of cancer.

Hmm...

That's an interesting way to put it.

*non-toxic

It's really inexpensive too!

Here's a link

If you live in Europe a similar product is Milliput

I hope this helps someone.

Sounds cool - I'd like to try it out. I used Marine Bondo Putty for the first time on the next SNESp I'm working on, and it hardened pretty fast and was hard to smooth it out as much as I would have liked to. That all lead to much more sanding.

As for health concerns for Bondo, the red Bondo spot putty has me somewhat worried due to the fumes it produces. The easiest way to apply it is with my finger, but luckily it washes off.

ALWAYS use a dust mask when sanding Bondo! That stuff sands into real fine particles so it could easily get in your lungs.

Everything can cause cancer these days... Cellphones, eggs, solder, roofplates (no seriously!), bondo(?), laptops, video game consoles, pc's, french fries, etc...

You might just as well stay in house all day and never eat anything but fruit and vegetables.

But even those cause cancer now!
