Saturday, I turned several pens. The final one I decided to do a CA finish since I like the look and have become pretty adept at it now. I wasn't careful and ended up getting a couple nosefuls. Within an hour, I was sneezing, wheezing, tearing up and couphing to the point of vomiting. Two days later, I still have a runny nose and coughing. I am dropping Aprodine (pseudoephedrine) like a junky...
First, I am sure it was from the CA. I didn't turn any woods that would do this. Positive.
Second, I started searching for something that would protect me from the vapors today, but don't know where to start. I looked at the specs for the Trend Airshield, but it specifically states that it will not protect from strong vapors.
3rd. While I understand that my lungs get a high priority and I can't put a price on safety etc, etc,
is there an economical option for protection from vapors?
Thanks!
