The smell is pretty bad though - need to open the window.


The dye used is pthalocyanine some of it will be released as
cyanide by burning. Not advised in a confined space such as a
kitchen.


I thought I'd heard something like that, hence my question. However,

Not if you get the MiL to do it for you:-)
