Sauron, I was wondering if someone would mention glycerol. As I said before when I worked in an optical lab we used it to heat the dye baths to about 125C. Honestly, I wouldn't use it past 150C or so.

I have access to triethylene glycol. I wonder how "safe" it is to have this stuff close to it's boiling point (considering it's toxicity).




"There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry ... There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors. ... We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it and that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. And we know that as long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost, and science can never regress." -J. Robert Oppenheimer
