As a follow-on to my earlier thread about sanding sealers, I binged and did three pens at once.
I had some severe nasal congestion on my last binge turning and thought it was probably the dust from the turning and sanding. I have purchased and dutifully used a very good respirator during those operations and did not experience any congestion.
Yesterday I used the respirator during the turning and sanding but removed it while I applied the CA. Last night I was plugged up something fierce. I am wondering if it could be the CA.
I do have a pretty good dust collection system which I always leave on while I apply the CA. I don't smell it at all; and there is no eye irritation during the operation.
I have a different set of filters for my respirator for organic vapors which I could use.
What say you? Do any of you have this reaction to CA? If so, short of giving up CA, do you have any suggestions? I really like the CA for finishing pens and would not like to give it up.
Thanks!
