Hi Liz, Thanks. A friend of mine is going to build an SOF in my shop this summer. I'm looking forward to seeing how she does it. Pamela

: I found out the hard way that epoxy sensitivity only gets worse, and in my
: case also seemed to promote sensitivity to several other substances. I
: have never had skin or allergy problems before but now can get a reaction
: just being in the same house as epoxy. My advice is to take all
: precautions to avoid contact and breathing but if it becomes obvious that
: the rash is caused by epoxy exposure, you should avoid the stuff at all
: costs. It is not worth the health problems later. As Daren said, you can
: always build a SOF. They are a lot of fun too.
