: There really is an easy and safe way to do this. The allergin (sp?)
: usually is the amine in the hardener, once the hardener/resin is
: cured it's not the same material and the hazard is gone. Fully
: hardened resin also sands easier, doesn't gum up the paper like
: partially cured resin tends to do. Easy way is to take a break
: when you get near the sanding phase and let the resin cure
: completely. Then it's just a dust situation and not an allergy
: one.

: Btw, a dust blower works MUCH better than a shop vac and there are
: several shop filters (big box that draws air thru a fine filter)
: that do wonders for the shop's air quality, there are plans for
: some of these that can be built for very reasonable prices.

What? I'm doing it all wrong? Inconceivable!

Okay, spill it - what type of 'dust blower' are you talking about? And a few details on the big box filters/ plans would be invaluable. I have time now - not much epoxy work at 12 degrees fahrenheit. Thanks.
