Rubber cement thinner: Thinning rubber cement... really. When our theatre first opened we used to get our "ad slicks" in the mail. When we wanted to put an ad in the newspaper we would have to "paste them up" and send them to the newspaper. They used rubber cement to do tha pasting. Of course with all that rubber cement hanging around and sticking to everything in site (and getting hard as a rock) you needed to have something to remove it (or soften it up again). Nowadays they just FAX the ads in. There is no need for them to paste them up because the newspaper downloads the camera art by computer or something like that.Pain thinner, Turpentine: Thinning paint. Have you ever had to repaint the stalls in the bathroom because some idiot scraped filthy words into them with a pocket knife? Where there's paint, you must have thinner, right? Renovex? Don't they use that to kill rats and things? ![](http://www.film-tech.com/ubb/wink.gif) For the most part, I don't see why you need all those chemicals in the booth. Sometimes people who clean out the closets and things downstairs have a tendancy not to want to throw things out like they ought to. Instead they stash things up in the booth. If you don't have a use for any of these things I'd just toss them. (Or take them to the community recycling center) Old chemicals just present a hazard.

You can usually contact the manufacturer, and ask for a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) that provides information on the safe handling, storage and disposal of the chemical. Many MSDS's are available on-line. All of the chemicals you mention are solvents, and need to be disposed of properly --- most communities have an environmental facility that accepts used solvents for disposal. Keep them in their original containers.------------------ John P.
