The kits would vary depending on the treatment needed, but most of the time the kits would contain acetone, isopropanol, toluene, xylene, acetic acid, mineral spirits. The CHO is not familiar with the DOT and other regulations for transporting/labeling chemicals.. But he ran across Title 49 Part 173.4 Small quantities for highway and rail outlines and realized he could have some issues with this plan. This is not an area I'm strong in and usually suggest a consultant. If any of you have this area nailed and could help, or if you know of a reasonable consultant to refer this to, the CHO can be reached at: Carlos Aponte Chemical Hygiene Officer Los Angeles County Museum of Art Conservation Center 5905 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90036 (323) 932-5899 CAPONTE**At_Symbol_Here**LACMA.ORG Thanks to all, Monona --- For more information about the DCHAS-L e-mail list, contact the Divisional membership chair at membership**At_Symbol_Here**dchas.org Follow us on Twitter **At_Symbol_Here**acsdchas
