Determine things for youself etc. What is there to determine? On the bottle of glue all it ever says is acrylic polymer. Thats it. and has been said continually that the glue is safe to use on skin. Then u hear, well. yeah it might contain toxins but measure the risks. what risks? If there are any risks shouldn't that info be available. I never get any warnings about anything other then toluene. So how can anyone measure risks if they dont even know there is any?

Simply have whoever supplies the glue for you send you an ingredients list and/or the MSDS on everything in it.
They have to....

I don't know how it works with adhesives. You would think that it would fall under the same labeling requirements as cosmetics (which I am getting an education in as we speak), but I have yet to see a full ingredients list on any of the tapes or glues we use.

I do now that the MSDS sheet is not generated for consumers, it is mandated to protect workers who produce and handle the product. As for anyone being REQUIRED to send it to you....I'm not sure about that but I would like to know, just for my own info.
