Hi Tim,

Wasn't being mean spirited, just concerned, since you both look like you're having a lot of fun doing this together (I'm building in a living room, too).

I think Jamestown Distributors has disposable respirators on their website for about $2 ea, and I'm sure lots of other places have them.

I'm not sure about the balance of safety vs. practicality - I often take shortcuts, and sometimes have to pay for them.

Anyone see a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for epoxy on the web? I hunted for a little while without luck - perhaps another try.
