OK, so who uses polyurethane foam? The blue stuff I see hot wired is
polystyrene foam (Styrofoam (TM)) It gives off styrene which is not
healthy, but you have to get the wire way hotter than necessary to
cause it to break down into the nasty stuff.

And you think that you've done that? Phosgene gas? Is that the gas that
comes from the jeans of queer guys with a lisp after they fawt.

I took college chemistry, but that means absolutely nothing to me. Big
technical words are not information.
