Re: Resin Question
safety is never a stupid question.
indeed MOST resins are toxic, some are safe once cured. this should be discovered in your search for your desired resin. personally, I use a dust mask when sanding ANYTHING, I have really bad allergies. in most cases, your resin will be safe once cured, but don't breathe the dust while sanding. if you can do the sanding outside, then by all means, this will help keep your house clean too. but if you do your sanding/cutting indoors, make sure you can vacuum up all of the dust, so keep your desk/work area cleaned up so you don't suck up any small parts, or decals with the vac.
once your model is done, and it's on the shelf, it's safe to be around, just don't let any children around them. god forbid you let your 2 year old around your models anyway.
just use common sense and safety precautions, and you'll be just fine.
