Dan,
I recently took on a small project for a customer that had issues with epoxy and tried an ecopoxy but still had reactions. I have been looking into this product as well since I have been around standard resins for 13 years now. No reactions with precautions, thank goodness.

She told me that although the resin meets eco standards she understood that the hardener may not. Is this true? It looks like the hardener which is obviously necessary is still a dangerous chemical to be in contact with either by touch or breathing. I read the MSDS for the hardeners on their web site and it lists similar precautions to standard epoxy. What is your take on it?
