In Response To: Re: Epoxy fumes? (Pete Rudie)

I recall that the hardener contained amines which I thought someone told me was volitile - and nasty. But, when using epoxy I detect very little odor. You sound like you are up to speed on this stuff. Anything to this? Maybe I'm confused, and it just that the amines are a problem with direct skin contact.

I do use the gloves & long sleeves.

Thanks.
