Ok - - I’m having difficulty. I’ve been a little wheezy after pen turning and increased my ventilation (box fan toward the lathe with another box fan as an exhaust next to the open garage door. I’m using a sanding mask very regularly, too, throughout the drilling, turning and sanding.
Next, I got a rash, similar to poison ivy, [xx(]but not as weepy, but dang persistent. I think that this was related to some leopard wood that I got rid of, but the itching continues â€" so it may be something else that I’m turning.
I stopped turning pens for three days and breathing was a bit better. Tonight, I turned three acrylics (with my fans and mask, but I later began to cough up plenty of clear fluid as though I’d still gotten a good dose of particles. I mean I was coughing till I thought I was gonna puke.[:0]
I’m thinking that I should upgrade to a p-100 mask and seriously consider an air cleaner/dust collector combo with the DC venting outside the garage.
Am I screwed?[8]
