The self appointed safety rep gives his blessing!

One last point about reserators, some of the modern paints sauch as Imron and Alumigrip are what I beleive are called epoxy based and it is the fumes that will kill you, lterally, and are not removed by normal respirators.

This is s true story.....I knew a guy who did automotive work on the side such as painting, and bragged that he could pait Imron with just a partical mask, actually bragged! One night his wife sent his 10 year old son out to the garage to fetch him for supper and the son returned to say that dad was passed out drunk "again" in the garage. Well the wife was smart enough to know that there was no way Sam could have drunk enough beer in two hours to pass out.......and went out to check. Sam had nearly been aphixiated (or however you spell that) from the caustic fumes. He lived to tell me the story in person. As outrageous a story as this sounds, it is true, it is funny and it is sad all at the same time. Shakespeare could not have written a better story!
