Note the correct form: Emerson & Cuming (no "s") -- but you're right, nothing on
their website about this product, or any similar product. However, if you want
to make your own <g>, here's the formula -- this from the EMEDCO
(www.emedco.com) website --

Methylene Chloride, >70%
Phenol, 5-10%
Formic Acid, 5-10%
Non-hazardous modifiers, 1%
Retardant (obtained from previous), 1-2%
Surfactant, 2-5%

Maybe you could dispense with the "non-hazardous modifiers" and the Retardant
that they produce. For the surfactant, there's probably any number of things you
could use for that. Palmolive Liquid? <LOL>

Sounds like truly nasty stuff, though. There's probably a good reason why they
don't make it anymore.
