[quote=FaithfulPastor;335515]Veery715 makes a good point about the vapors, but I would gently diagree with the idea that it must be used outside. Good ventilation is more than helpful, but using it outside is a bit much in my opinion.

As a frequent user of Lacquer thinner over most of my life I am quite familiar with the product and its shortcomings. The vapor is heavier than air and is EXTREMELY flamable, nearing the point of being almost explosive, which it can readily become in a heavy vapor concentration coming into contact with a flame or spark source. Acetone is another volatile solvent that is more than a bit hazardous to use without adequate ventilation, again, VERY EXTREMELY FLAMABLE!!!!!!!!
