Boy, I hope the fumes are not combustible. I am set up right next to a gas furnace. Anyone know for sure?

I am using the MAS epoxy, and though the odor is not strong, the vapors are harmful. If I neglect to wear my respirator for even a few minutes, my lungs begin to ache. I suppose my friend won't mind wearing a respirator in her livingroom upstairs!
