: I've been pretty good at keeping epoxy off me but earlier this summer I got
: the slightest contact of epoxy on my temple. It really wasn't anything
: noticable until six hours later and I'm sitting at my desk and feeling
: half my head begin to warm up, one ear bright red, and I'm thinking
: "this isn't right". Touching that spot on my temple I realized
: that there was a small spot that had epoxy touch it so I washed and
: scrubbed the heck out of it. Four hours later the feeling went away.

: Working with epoxy without gloves is crazy

My thoughts exactly. I wonder what the percentage is of folks who develop significant allergies to epoxy, even if you're taking 'precautions'? I wonder what that number is in a similar pool that simply uses no protection? Once you develop that sensitivity, you're going to be confined to SOF! Thank God we have Tom Yost!
