Hello guys, first post on the fourm and very very much a beginner in this subject. first off appologies if this isn't the right part of the fourm for this question but i had to hazard a guess.

Looking at the green man website i have come accross a project of which i think could be a nice one to begin with, and i'm now looking at all the possible things i may need to collect, the project i'm considering is the "traffic light" which seemed, and i don't use this term lightly "safe" compared to a lot of others.

however the question i'd like to ask you guys is. what is red gum as a chemical, i couldn't use the forum search as the words were under 4 letters which it didn't like. wikipedia turned up a type of eucalyptus plant which was commonly used as a type of charcoal.

thanks for your time and i hope to become a more active member of this forum.
