Epoxy is really crap for homebuilding

For me health is a major issue. I am extremely allergic to it.


To which one?

Epoxy.

Allergic reactions to contact and also aromatics. Even 1-2% in paints
will cause reactions. Redness in skin, swelling in face and eyes to
point not able to see, extreme itching etc. It is the hardener, once
cured not a problem.

You are the first that I have heard of with an allergic reaction to
Epoxy. Met several with reactions to Vinyl Ester. Odd how different
people have totally differing reactions to different things. Vinyl
Ester causes me problems with the dust from any sanding on the parts
but no such reaction from Epoxy. I only had one exposure to Vinyl
Ester in the pre-cure aromatics and had a similar reaction.
