Keep in mind if you have the wrong type glove, the toulene might melt them also. And about the well ventilated area, 1 stick of dynamite has about 2,000 BTU's, 1 lb. of toulene is 18,500 BTU's. If you left it in a warm confined area where it would evaporate and ignite all the vapors simutaneously it would have similar effects. Be careful. I just noticed the last T in TNT is for Toulene.
