[SML] Haze and making it work

[Mike Katz]

I should have said something when the discussion about Sal Ammoniac came up
a few months ago, but Sal Ammoniac is really not good for children and
other living things.
Here is a link to a MSDS for it:
https://www.sra-shops.com/docs/srasolder/sds/sds-flux-sal-ammoniac.pdf.
It is not benign especially when burned. We used to use it all the time for
campfire effects and never thought about the coughing fits that we went
through after working with the stuff. Even if you are not originally
sensative the MSDS indicates that you may well be sensative in the future.
