PCB Oil

[Neil Morrison]

PCBs are not _that_ dangerous - do a search on the web for poly chlorinated
biphenyls for more info.
Perhaps you could tack solder the lid on at three points. Certainly do stick
a warning label on it.
Or, contact your local recycling centre for disposal info, and clean it out
with detergent and hot water, then refill as previously suggested with safe
oil.

Regards,

Neil
