In Response To: the importance of gloves (erez)

I couldn't agree more. I've been real careful while applying the epoxy, but at first, not so when sanding. The epoxy dust was "killing" my hands. Not leaving a rash, but making them extra dry and also burning. Lots of hand cream at night has helped. For a while there, between the epoxy dust and wire cuts, my hands were a mess. I use latex for epoxy and vinyl for sanding (they don't fit as tight).
