(Gary relates disaster with analine dye on maple)
At least one poster has recomended the use of bleach to lighten or remove
the color. Off the top of my head, I couldn't remember the chemistry of
analine dyes except that they were one of the first important coal tar
derravitives. So I did a google search on "analine". The very first hit I
got brought up a similar problem and a warning. Analine compounds contain
ammonia. Ammonia and chlorine-containing bleaches combine to produce
chloramines, which are very irratating and possibly toxic. TFA can be
found at: http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasc...1/gen01120.htm
I have to admit, when I read the post suggesting bleach, it sounded
reasonable...
