<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 8387640, member: 33176"]The main thing you want to be wary of is PVC which contains the element Chlorine. As a chemist, the way I always tested for chlorine was the Beilstein Test. You can trim an edge of one of your 2x2's or just sacrifice one. Heat a copper wire in a flame (butane lighter?) to burn off any residue, then touch the hot copper wire to the plastic to be tested. Return the wire to the flame and look for a green color which would indicate chlorine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
