Default RE: CA Warning


ORIGINAL: Don41

I have noticed that the far more expensive odorless CA is advertised as useful for those that have developed an allergic reaction to regular CA. Interesting that they will take the time to be concerned for your health when money is involved (:-).

In any case, has anyone personally confirmed that the odorless works (with respect to their allergic reaction)? I'd very much like to have a small amount available for those times that cry out for thin CA.
From what I understand, the odorless is still harmful to your health. You just don't have fumes to tell you when there is too much in the air. I would check the MSDS for odorless before I trust it any more than regular CA.

BTW, I also use wood glue when I can to avoid the fumes from both CA and epoxy. Neither one is good for you and the time saved is not really that important compared to long term health effects. Besides, the wood glues let you savor the building experience for longer.
