Is Resin Toxic?

[oldthudman5]

Any "fine floating particulate" ingested into the lungs can cause harm........Fine resin dust is no exception.....We know the dangers of asbestos ingested in the work environment especially..........It is just good sense to wear a mast when cutting resin or other medium that makes this fine dust...............

 

Simple mast are easily  available from most pharmacies, paint stores or paint departments in big box home improvement centers, etc etc.........why take chances?

I always wear a mast while doing hobby stuff, of course doorways are a real problem.

No, best to stick to natural materials. Mahogany, perhaps.

Buzz-kill...

I forgot to add:

Wood dust can be bad too! And in some cases can cause cancer:
