>Hey, hey ... nice website, nice pictures, and you are going a lot faster than I ... BUT - shouldn't you be wearing a RESPIRATOR instead of a dust mask when sanding epoxy? To tell you the truth I haven't read a MSDS sheet about epoxy, but I thought the dust (and any possible fumes generated from the heat of the abrasive) might "sensitize you", or worse.. When I get to the stage of sanding the epoxy, I have a couple of "disposable" respirators (supposedly good enough for mixing chemotherapy) ( but even that is done in a fume hood). Be careful!
