Title: Re: rattle can paints...some safety stuff

Please go back and read the safety precautions and QC I put in Sunny's post. All of the materials involved are highly toxic. Make sure to wear a dust mask or respirator as needed. And, unlike me, DO NOT smoke in your work area.

Body putty dust is as harmful as asbestos, it goes in easy and never comes out. The wet chemicals are neurotoxic, the powder is supposedly "inert".
Lacquer fumes have a "mad cow" effect on the central nervous system and brain over time, and the effects are cumulative.
Paint thinner is corrosive AND neurotoxic. It doesn't take much.
Acrylic enamel is like body filler dust.

I've buried enough riders who were close to me already.
Don't add to the list.

Thanks for the warning, after a rattle can paint job I always need a "freath of bresh air" to get the fumes out of my lungs ;D. Ed
