Yeah, do a check (not that I know where you should look) but isn't heating calcium carbide a "naughty" now?

Re: pracs and recipes
Re banned chemicals, is there a vic deecd list? I haven't been able to find one. I didn't see toluene on the NSW list, but I'll take more care with the white phosphorus demos (if the dare devil teachers will listen) and maybe piff the potassium chlorate, altho' I thought we still used it.mtg
