Dispensing Toluene, anybody?........
I have a project that I need to use toluene to bond some rubber. I don't
want to use any kind of rubber cement, as the bond is in mid-process--after the rubber is dried but before it is vulcanized--and anything added may disrupt the final vulcanization of the rubber. -Plus, the only cements that would work would be 'industrial' ones that have a lot of toluene or xylene anyway (so they'd still be flammable/noxious) and still might not work as well. I can buy the toluene in a gallon can, but what I want is a smaller container for use, and a way to apply it easily a few drops at a time. For the smaller bottle, US plastics sells glass bottles with teflon lid liners. Toluene seems to dissolve damn near every kind of plastic there is eventually, but Teflon is one plastic that is resistant to damn near everything. So far I have not found any info that Toluene will harm teflon.... ? The can it comes in has a plastic liner made of,,,, something? The toluene comes in a metal can, FWIW. I know places to buy smaller metal cans but they all have plastic linings, and I dunno which to get for this. There are also one-piece stainless-steel cans around too I guess, which might work too. I'd just have to find one that had a screw-on stainless lid,,,, and a liner made of ,,, what? teflon? For the applicator, I am thinking of just using a piece of glass lab tubing as a manual dropper. This would allow avoiding contaminating the jar. I'd like to find a plastic/rubber-bulb dropper that would hold maybe 2cc's at a time, but so far all I have found has not been suitable for this use. Any ideas? Also note: being just a Regular Guy, I can't buy anything from anywhere that requires a corporate account. |
