                        Q:I am preparing to make some passive solar food dehydrators, and I want to know if this screening can be used to make racks/trays to dry the food directly on - I lost my wrapper for this roll of screen and don't remember if it says you need to wash hands after contact because of chemical transfer (which is usually what I use to determine if I can use a metal product or not). Thank you!
