Enough to kill birds, very quickly. How would that do for us?

Being that we're sometimes called "birdmen" I guess it would be none
to good. I don't doubt that its bad for us too. I was just saying
that it seems to take more heat to turn into something you can breath.


I just did a flame test on a sample of MTW (machine tool wire). It is
FT1 and VW1 rated (plenum install) meaning it will not sustain
combustion. I tried to light it with a butane torch - with flame
applied it burned with a small sputtering smoky flame- it did not drip
or melt - and the fire went out immediately when I shut off the gas.
