I typically use medium CA to glue up my pen barrels and have noticed that my eyes start to sting and a bit of discomfort in the nose. I apply my CA finish with thin and with the dust extractor going so don't notice anything there. I favour the CA gluing up process because it's fast and it generally gives good results compared to epoxy for me. Is my reaction a typical one after turning a number of pens? I have got a respirator but it's awkward to use, however I will use it if I have to. Guess the question is, is it time for me to stop using CA and find something else or I just take better precautions with protective equipment and use a fan/air-filter unit to disperse the fumes?
