You lead me to the liquid polish I'd been looking for!!!!! Easier to apply, and what I'd used many times on my wood burning stove. I hadn't been able to find it last time and used the paste tube.

MSDS are entertaining, aren't they? Part of my job was reading these things. Here's one:

Section 4: First Aid Measures

Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.

Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops.

Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.

Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

Small Spill: Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal.

Large Spill: Absorb with an inert material and put the spilled material in an appropriate waste disposal. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system. Be careful that the product is not present at a concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities.

OMG!!!! You don't want to read about Dawn dish detergent or corn oil or Charmin!!! OMG!

The two principal ingredients in stove black are carbon (like produced in a wood fire) and potassium carbonate, a mineral salt used as a leavening agent in "quick breads", an ingredient in Asian cuisine, and in the production of mead and wines.

MSDS sheets are largely intended for factory workers and firefighters where they are exposed to huge amounts day in and day out or in fires and explosions.

Get real. If you get MSDS sheets on your soap, shampoo, carpet, paint, toothpaste and dogfood, you will never be able to do anything without a full hazard suit, goggles, resperator and rubber gloves. You won't be able to cook or ingest olive oil or bread or most anything else. OMG!

ANYTHING you put on a stove will smoke a bit for several minutes. Spilled your coffee on the stove? After the water evaporates, it will SMOKE! Take the stove outside!!?

A mildly intelligent person would have a small fire to bake the blacking on at first.
