when doing coversions[finia/sovex]the solvents used to break fillers like,heet or lye--theres got to be some trace amounts left behind no matter how well you wash or dry--it cant evaporate 100% right?just wondering how that could effect you longterm? I think it takes like 1oz of antifreeze to kill a dog,so this is whats holding me back from trying --anything you can use to break down binders that wont kill you?

You dont use Lye for anything, although some people will tell you to. Methanol (HEET) will mostly evaportate but you dont rely on this. Instead you wash your filtrate with at least a gallon of distilled water which will get rid of any methanol left over. With Fina you dont use lye either.
