Looking at the CRC I find that it is soluble in lacohol. Perhaps dissolving the alcohol in water and then clening the drums with may allow me to incinerate it without stinking the place up

Well that is possible but how to get it out of the drums ( it is the last residue) without stinking the whole city? Just opening the drum is a problem Any ideas of an agent that will inmobilize it ( I mean so it will not be so volatile) so I can incinerate it? Or something that will react with...
