I have noticed that the day after working with epoxy (applying it) my throat is sore and my nose is running. I think this is the beginning of epoxy allergy, so now I'll begin to use a full mask with the approproate filter when applying epoxy as well. From earlier I am very careful not to get the stuff on my skin, but the fumes are apparently enough to trigger a reaction for me.

Phill suggested that different mix ratios was an indicator on how "risky" each epoxy formulation is. I.e. 5:1 is the worst while 2:1 is the "best". At least in his case this was the case.

Do others here have the same issues or opinions on this? Epoxy is a wonderful glue, but the health hazards are very real.
