trend airshield and CA glue A Warning !

Good Day All



With all the recent info/warnings about CA glue and it's fumes I decided better safe then sorry. I was turning a birch bowl which developed a crack. No problem a little CA glue and some saw dust. Hold it a second let me put on my airshield to be safe !!



Mistake !!



Not thinking far enough ahead the air intake is at the forehead !!!



I put the sawdust in the crack, gave it a shot of CA glue and the mask filled with fumes. Choke...cough ...eyes burning.



No apparent damage but I'm going back to using a fan sucking the air away from me .



Just thought you should know

This applies to most visors. I did exactly the same with my Airlite and the fumes knocked me out completely!

I now leave it time to cure BEFORE I resume sanding/turning.

Timely reminder though, thanks.

No way to put a little charcoal in the path? Even if they don't make 'em, might you be able to sew something to clip in there?

Anybody know what it is in the punky areas in birch that cause the instant cure with big-time fumes? I even litmus-tested, and it's not particularly high in pH.
