That statement does not make good sense IMO. "Toxic products" are only TOXIC if you use them incorrectly and thus expose yourself to a toxic DOSE. Water is toxic if you drink 6 liters in an hour you'll probably go into a siezure and die as your blood electrolytes will be so diluted that you'll have inadquate functon at you neural synapses It happens. Nitrocellulose finishes are very useful products for coating many things including musical instruments but they have to be used properly with adquate inhallation protection. Because some individuals use them incorrectly everyone else should be deprived of a useful product?
