: Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it -

: but I do not own a respirator.

Wow, time to get one. You didn't use one to apply your epoxy?

Ouch! You're asking for trouble. Start the habit of wearing one for any solvents (except water)
epoxy and varnish.

Please wear eye protection, gloves, and a dust mast or respirator ANY time it crosses your mind you should.

Not to, is like paddling without a PFD.

3M makes a very comfortable half mask of silicone, the 7500 series. I have one with organic vapor cartridges for solvents,
epoxy and varnish, and one I use with dust cartridges. Disposable masks costs add up fast if you really use them, having
a good mask will large dust cartridges is cheaper in the long run.

There are the old, and there are the bold, but there ain't no old bold.
