In Response To: Re: the importance of gloves (Chris Casazza)

I though I was only one that had a reaction from wood dust and epoxy. My reaction was having my lips and tongue swell up. Now it's work on boat, shower, and change clothes. My shop clothes are washed after each use. I must shower before going to bed or the dust in my hair will end up on the pillow. Every once in a while I forget and touch curring epoxy and find my tongue start to burn. I love building boats but almost had to give it up. Remember...the effects are accumulative, they get worse each time.
