Generally Hazardous Products

General Tips

  • Urethaning or application of resin should be done with a Respirator w/organic filters.
  • You will want an adequate supply of disposable gloves.
  • Glass fibers can be hazardous when sanding. Work in an appropriate area, w/proper mask and ventilation.
  • It's nice to have multiple pairs of either goggles / glasses (I keep one of both) as when one gets foggy you can swap to the other one.

In this video by the United States Chemical Safety Board, you can see how an epoxy resin fire in a maintenance pipe, caused death by smoke inhalation for the trapped workers inside. Epoxy resin will burn for a long time and generate a substantial amount of smoke.
