"Propylene oxide". Anybody try this before? Or know how much to use? Any
experiences?

Propylene oxide is a volatile, flammable liquid that is soluble in water,
alcohol, and ether. It is highly dangerous when exposed to heat or flame. It
has a violent reaction with hydrogen chloride, chlorosulfonic acid, hydrogen
fluoride, and oleum. It should not be stored in the presence of acids, bases,
chlorides of iron, aluminum, and tin, or peroxides of iron and aluminum; any
of these may cause violent polymerization. Propylene oxide is miscible with
most organic solvents, and forms a two-layer system with water. It is
incompatible with anhydrous metal chlorides, iron, strong acids, caustics, and
peroxides, and reacts vigorously with oxidizing materials. When exposed to
flame, propylene oxide will burn with a hot flame like isopropyl if not
confined, but it may explode if confined. Polymerization may occur due to high
temperatures or contamination with alkalis, aqueous acids, amines, and acidic
alcohols.
