It's likely CA glue. It affects the sinus for a number of us.
Choices: Stop using the regular CA and start using the ''Foam safe'' CA. (It cost more but this works for many people with the probem.) (Combine this with e next step if you can.)
Next choice, really ventilate the room and use more Titebond or Elmer's wood glue. Use the Foam safe to tack-glue and the Elmer's to make the permanent glue joint.

Next choice is to stop building. Typically if it's caused by CA glue, the symptoms will get worse with time.
[8D]Another choice: Purchase a mask which will filter out the fumes. While wearing the mask, you may look like Darth Vader, but the mask works.
I use it for every aircraft building project. Check out Sears, Lowes, etc.
Jerry, I don't think they make a mask that will block the CA fumes. They are good for most everything else though. I saw a face shield with an air pump that provided fresh filtered air behind the shield. The local industrail hardware supply that had them went of of business,and now that I wan't, I've not ran across another, at least at a reasonable price.

JFranco, you might try taking an over the counter Benidryl after being in the shop and see if that gaves any relief. Iwould suggest before, but they make me a bit drowsy. Has the Dr's come up with anything other than "it's an allergery" yet?
