    a quick review of MSDS show that typically 5-10 percent  methanol is
    the "denaturing" agent and depending on the manufacturer other
    alcohols may be present

    another good reason for  good ventilation at our soldering stations.
    Also don't fish the part you dropped in the firecoat jar out with
    your fingers as noted in earlier posts methanol is absorbed through
    the skin.
