I listen because in the law, it's called being "forewarned".

You don't know what's being deposited. You don't know what evaporates and what doesn't.

No, no one is going to get a huge snootful of anything bad, but just because it's cheap and easy doesn't mean that it's the best choice.

An true airbrush uses a compressor to generate the air pressure to propel the material thru the airbrush. It doesn't "add" to the mix. The Preval and other "canned air" systems DO "add" to the mix.

Yep--to each his/her own--just like wearing your seatbelt, not drinking and driving, brushing your teeth, not running with scissors..................

The reference to the TOXIC READING was a way they measured how much chemical from the propellant was left on the food it was sprayed.
