I'm getting kinda freaked out by all the warnings I read here about finishing and using CA. I was wondering if it's more safer health-wise to use stabilized wood,where you don't apply and outer finish,but just sand and buff?
I've been pretty careful,by using the DC / hood setup ( without the bag attached ) to suck & blow away the fumes,besides doing it outside.I use a resp-o-rator & safey glasses,gloves but I know I should get a vapor-type mask instead.
I do get bugged by the fumes when gluing the tubes,but may switch to 5 min epoxy instead.
What are the symtoms I need to look out for to be on the lookout if I'm becomming sensitized to it?
Any thoughts on if it's safer? And is it OK to wetsand a stabilzed blank when MM it,or will that harm the wood like it does with reglular wood?
I can't afford to get hurt,I have to be here for my wife.
Thanks for any thoughts!
