Default Non-toxic materials

Good idea. I've been trying. First of all, I'm not sure what products I
should be using, that's why I'm here. Second, it's pretty hard to get an
answer on some stuff. For instance I've spent almost 3 hours trying to
find out if my local drywall supplier snip
Trying to find information on toxicity of building materials is not easy
at all, if you think it is please tell me where you get your info snip

I know for a fact that I said ask the "manufacturer", and you're
talking about asking your "supplier". I'm sure whatever you're buying
has a manufacturer's site. Probably the site has product MSDs, or
whatever. They should also have a link to connect them. I doube a
supplier would know, and if you're buying from Hopeless Depot, you'd be
lucky to find anyone who would even know what you're talking about.
However, your supplier should be able to tell you who manufactures
whatever, then you go to them and ask. If your supplier can only tell
you the next step up in the supply chain, but not who the actual
manufacturer is, you got there, and ask them. Repeat as needed. I
would have thought something like that would be pretty basic.
Generation gap I guess. By the way, your cans of latex, or whatever,
should have a 1-800 manufactur contact number on the can, probably on
the back. Personally, I'd ask my mother before I'd ask questions like
that here. You might want to check with your doctor(s) too.
