Forget epoxy, how about your lungs

In Response To: S&G: kerosene heater, trouble curing?? *Pic* (Shawn Servoss)

The reason karosine heaters totally droped out of popularity is because people finally relized that you're breathing in karosine fumes. I think it's OK to heat a garage after you apply epoxy. But to have a karosine heater as a heat source as you work is unhealthy to say the least unless you plan to work with a resperator. I know they're cheap. I would rather pay for the juice and use a space heater than suck in the fumes.
