Unless you really know what you are doing, this is probably good advice,
and knowing the risks, its probably good advice anyway.

I was hoping to try and start a discussion on SAFE alternatives to R-12,
and had only heard of the GHG-12 stuff and wondered if there were other
similar alternatives available, and if anyone had ACTUALLY TRIED them,
( or know of friends that had ). I threw out the ISO-(BUTANE...?) 
combination just to show how one home brew mix might be used as a 
substitute somewhat matching all the PHYSICAL PROPERTIES, never mind the 
side effects.
