Nasty stuff, expensive to get, expensive to dispose of. Need a mask
and fume hood. Causes cancer quite readly. It can be used as a
solvent like tolene or acetone, and is only needed in very specific
situations (ie. you can use something much less volitile and get the
job done.
There are a few articals posted by Charles Lewton-Brain in the forum
on benzene uses in jewelry and how to avoid it.
