As a teenager, I was a completely unsupervised airplane detailer at a used airplane dealership. Lots of spare time and lots of really nasty solvents that probably weren't legal for me to be near (I know some weren't supposed to be used without a supplied air respirator and no contact with skin or clothing - read the package after getting light headed - and there I was with a rag in a closed up hanger in the middle of winter). Many experiments with which could dissolve packing peanuts the fastest and making a blow torch with WD-40 to burn things (mainly packing peanut pyramids) down. Yeah, I wasn't the safest of kids.
