It's probably all getting on me. I've been working with my arms exposed. I've got some tyvec sleeves - just haven't been using them.You'd think I was old enough to know I'm not invincible. I've been careless. Stupid, stupid.

: Is the slurry or dust getting on you? I get tiny bumps between my fingers
: after sanding epoxy. They are itchy but pretty benign. A friend of mine
: gets what you described on his arms; a sore rash. It would flare up any
: time he got near epoxy sanding dust. Duct taping his shirt sleeve cuffs to
: his wrists didn't help :) You can get Tyvek shirt sleeves or an entire
: Tyvek suit. Raka sells the sleeves. The full body suits are probably
: available from auto body supply stores. If you live near a medical school
: you can find them at a laboratory supply. My wife had one for her gross
: anatomy class.

: Some builders are more sensitive to certain brands so you might try something
: different on your next boat.
