Toluene

[Mary Tang]

Hi all --

I think this should be OK.  Toluene has a PEL of 200 ppm (for 
comparison, so does methanol.)  Just warnings about observing proper 
chemical handling procedures as per all-litho (work in exhausted areas 
of wet benches, dispose of solid waste in sealed bags, etc. -- the stuff 
smells) and making sure this is used no differently than other PMMA 
solutions should be sufficient.
