Peter, I will have to ask you for a source on that one: The components in this mixture have been found to be non-carcinogenic by NTP, IARC and OSHA.

Eddie

Suspected Cancer Agent:
Yes X No This product contains small amount of titanium dioxide, which is listed by IARC as a suspected carcinogen (Group 2B). Titanium dioxide only presents a risk of cancer by inhalation of very fine dust. In this product, the titanium dioxide is incorporated into the grease and is not present as a respirable dust. There is no exposure to respirable titanium dioxide dust in the normal use of this product.


I guess you should not burn titanium dioxide and breath the fumes!

i was drilling a pice of plastic and, yep, you guessed it, it caught and i drilled a nice 1/2" hole ( not all the way thru)in the palm of my hand.
squeezed some superglue into the wound, pulled it out after a few min( to clean the chunks of plastic out), and reglued.
ain't NO WAY you could keep a banage in the palm of your hand and still be using it but this worked great!
still have the scar but no other side issues...

Don't care what it does or doesn't have in it.......it probably saved a thousand lives in Viet Nam. No telling how many soldiers died trying to clean their weapons in the middle of a fire fight.

The combination of the LSA oil and the constant rain would eventually cause a stoppage, the advent of WD-40 cured the problem.

It saved lives and that was it's most important use.
