Boron: Lighter than Aluminum, stronger and stiffer than steel, impervious to moisture and temperature also affordable in indoor quantities. A real godsend to modelers.
When I got a roll from Curt Stevens early on, he warned that it was dangerous. Upon checking hazardous material people, they thought it was a crank call. "Boric acid is used in eyedrops".
Unless I had a Sr Moment, the danger involved 1 modeler snapping excess material onto shag rug, then walking barefoot onto said rug.
Seems like a lame reason to not use a miracle material when a few simple precautions like eye protection, white, well lit surfaces and even little tape "flags" on the ends prior to removal should make it as safe as most other indoor materials.
My opinion, H
