: The reason karosine heaters totally droped out of popularity is because
: people finally relized that you're breathing in karosine fumes. I think
: it's OK to heat a garage after you apply epoxy. But to have a karosine
: heater as a heat source as you work is unhealthy to say the least unless
: you plan to work with a resperator. I know they're cheap. I would rather
: pay for the juice and use a space heater than suck in the fumes.

Jay,
Could you expand on that a bit? I just purchased one of those "93% efficient" kerosun tower-style heaters for the garage. It seems to work great and except for startup and shut down is odorless. It's ventless and OK for indoor use. Are you telling me it's dangerous in normal operation?
