This is scary!
Once I breathed too much fumes from Tamiya spray paint
I thought I'm gonna die :D
My head was aching severely for 2 days

Thats a good link wong. I always use a proper resporator when spraying in the shed and using resin but i could do more to improve ventilation when i work in my room. Let this be a lesson to us all and lets take care of our selves...and each other!!!:D

Must be double filter!!
Also, if you use spraypaint use it outside on a windless day! same goes with airbrush! If you use it inside use it in a room with a lot of opened windows, or build a spray booth with properly rated fan
Health before Hondas, or something like that ;)

Probably worse walking/driving around in the middle of town in peck rush hour breathing in fumes from cars.

BTW - The chemicals we tend to get on our hands absorbs in the skin and can reach your liver in less than 30 minutes!! Wash your hands regularly while building and immediately when chemicals get on them.. I have personally gotten very ill from having thinner absorbed into my skin. Everything tasted strange for about a week and I was constantly nauseated the whole time. NO FUN!!!
