Are they still using toluene?


Last I heard, they'd closed altogether (but were still using toluene
for markets that accepted it). As the product is still on the shelves,
I don't know who is producing it, or what's in it.

It's been removed from the once-legendary Evo-Stik and it's now not nearly as effective as it
used to be


AIUI, Evo-stik never "removed" anything from any product, but you
might find that today's 528 isn't quite the same stuff as the old Red
& Black that they simply don't make any more.


I called them about the 'new improved formula' after finding that it
gave numerous failures. The chap I spoke to said they'd had to stop
using Toluene - hence the new formulation.
So yes, not technically a removal - but as good as.
