In Response To: Epoxy: Oh, oh - epoxy reaction? (Patsy)
Patsy--
First off, I am NOT a doctor.
My reaction to West System epoxy was a poison ivy-like rash, but only in the areas where I had contact with uncured epoxy. Usually cured epoxy is pretty inert stuff. I have got into trouble sanding epoxy before it was fully cured. I am not terribly sensitive to epoxy but someone with greater sensitivity might experience a rash, even on areas that were not in obvious contact.
Also, I now use MAS epoxy and never experience reactions. But I also cover up so I get very little skin contact with the stuff
Mike
BTW-from a boat building perspective, I hope it's not an epoxy generated rash.
