cutting 1/4" float

I have just been given a 20" x 22" 1/4" thick piece of float
I have only cut straight lines in float ...never circles
is this going to be a bugger? I have a can of Coleman fuel
is that close enought to kerosene? just wipe it on? :?:

I wondered, because the ingrediants used in industrial baking are pretty fierce not to mention fine. These have a little plastic intake / outtake valve on them. White lung being a common ailment in baking, I had hoped these were up to the task. I had hoped if not for blasting, then preparing shelves...

I have a Fusion 10 and all my pins are falling out.
My conclusion is all my elements will too :idea:
I have e-mailed Paragon twice with obviously no response.
I have just pushed them back in when I see one, but now they
are falling out with every firing of my kiln. what could/should
I be doing? TIA
