Eagle Driver Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Hey guys! I am experiencing something quite strange lately - when I am using Gunze blue cap thin glue, after working for a while with a model, my throat start to feel uncomfortable. I feel like I just drank vodka and still burns slightly after the first sip. It is not harsh, but delicate feeling, although unpleasant. I am guessing vapors from the glue is irritating my throat and I developed some sort of an allergy maybe. I started noticing such reactions /probably towards paints too/ like an year ago, and I haven't been around the bench for months, until today. Now for whatever reason I forgot about it, and it came back to me today when my throat felt in the similar manner. Its not like the rooms is not ventilated or anything. I was thinking to switch to Tamiya green cap, but I have none of it in stash to test how it will feel. So is there anybody who experienced something similar and what's the way to deal with it? Last thing I want is not be able to build models due to an allergy. Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) I think K1 may have had at one time an allergy to CA glue with possibly similar symptoms. I think he ended up using some anti-allergy spray/fine nasal mist IIRC. Edited June 21, 2017 by Out2gtcha Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade rowlands Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I do sometimes get hayfever like symptoms if I'm using super glue, itchy eyes/throats and runny nose. It's mostly if I've got a bit hanging around for a prolonged period giving off vapours as it dries. Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Have difficulties using CA glue, vapours resulting of bonding tend to clog my sinusses, so i'm very cautious using this stuff, but eventually when using it, like glueing resin parts etc, i'm using an actual gas masks and lots of ventilation, but it's a nasty feeling. Never had such symptoms with "normal" glue types, so couldn't give you any advise on that, but i can feel your dilemma with respect to modelling, ....have the same!! take care, Jack.

Eagle Driver Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 CA is something that I have no issues with. Yet. But to be honest, now it is 7PM and I ended working with the thin glue like 7-8 hours ago, I got the feeling that I still have that in my throat. Mild, but there. So yeah. It might be boosted by my mind, but it's not initiated by it for sure. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelingbob Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 It sounds like the off gassing fumes are irritating your throat. That sometimes happens to me also. I doubt that switching to Tamiya would help (but it might) since they are similar chemical vapors. You could try a respirator, but I usually just increase airflow in the work area by running a fan to circulate the air better. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
