Well, we wear gloves when dealing with wet epoxy, and keep the dust out of our lungs with those masks, but we don't feel that a respirator is necessary. There are no decernable vapors when sanding.

Louise is already sensitized to contact with her hands, but we have not noticed any effects with the dust.

Thanks for your concern,

Tim.
