Is speed glue legal?

Speed glue is a volatile chemical that was legal for about 20 years until 2008. It is like petrol, thinners, turpentine etc. These all are highly flamable evaporte quickly and dangerous for our health. The only Ping Pong rubber bond to a blade that is allowed to be used now is water based glue - anything that can be washed with water. That basically means most glues are water mixed with a rubbery compound similar to laytex.
