Mike,

I too remember reading that the insulation was extremely flammable.

Did (or didn't) someone also mention that when it burned it gave off
phosgene gas?

Regards,

I understand that the insulation is quite flammable. If the recyclers do
not want the skin due to the insulation stuck to it, couldn't it be removed
by a "controlled burn" ??? (After separation from the Fiberglass parts of
course.)
