Hi Stu,

You mentioned that "teflon has flourine in it's chemical composition".

It certainly does, that's what makes it good! Fluorine is so reactive that it really clings to it's electrons so there's darned near no conductance or RF loss. And that's good for audio too...

On the other hand if it does come apart that same reactivity probably makes it bad for the bod since it bonds so readily.

However using a thermal stripper apparently doesn't release enough to be terribly unhealthy as a lot of us are still kicking. So I suspect that doing a match test on a wire end isn't much of a risk.

Now a fire in a submarine... Talk about inadequate ventilation!
