[GSBN] Post Fire Cleanup

[Derek Roff]

Kilz is the name on a whole line of different products.  I hadn't heard 
it referred to as "nasty stuff" before.  I'd be interested in learning 
more.  The MSDS for this Kilz product looks similar to other oil-based 
paints.

I found that AFM is the American Federation of Musicians.  A group 
noted for their outgassing, objectionable to some.  Bill, can you give 
us more of a hint on the AFM that you were referring to?

Thanks,
Derek
