Hi builders,
I had serious problem with the epoxy when
I start the project, so I thought...
After about 8 month I could not stand it anymore.
My head was dark red (yes, like a tomato) but mainly where the mask
where
in contact with skin. Aha... The reactions may not be the
epoxy but the rubber in the protection mask. The
so called protection mask nearly "killed me".
I bought a thin balaclava (cotton) for my head and the problems was
completely gone when I had no direct contact with the mask.
I talked to my inspector (also builder) and he had exactly the problem.
My head is now back to normal (the colour I may add) and I can
work with epoxy without any problem.
Regards
Stephan

Michel,
I have been lucky and not faced any issues with resin until I stated
using
West Systems Epoxy for mixing with my filler. That stuff immediately
made
me cough badly at the slightest exposure.
This leads me to conclude that reactions to epoxy may be a combination
of
physiology and a specific product. You might like to try a different
brand.
If you are using SP systems, try Aeropoxy.
Paul
