| + | MSDS's are meant for people working with the material in an occupational fashion. For example, an MSDS for paint is not highly pertinent to someone who uses a can of paint once a year, but is extremely important to someone who does this in a confined space 40 hours a week. Serious hobbyists who use materials regularly should consult the MSDS. | ||
