Its obviously the acid that melts it and less dangerous maybe?

So don’t breath the smoke!

thus, be careful as this sticky mess is also VERY flamable.

My borther and I had some very dangerous times with this mixture and a lighter. It nearly melted through the sole of his shoe. It may be a good adhesive, but the danger factor is something to consider.
