How gliders are made question.
I just came across this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=I_atJwXxcrU
What really surprised me was that while working with resins none of the workers have any respiratory protection. What are the resins they are working with? I hope someone here could elaborate on this. I remember 20 years ago when I played with epoxy resins they were very nasty, smelled terribly and they were not safe to use without respiratory protection. What changed? |

I ben yusing epoxi for long time now making glydurs, I think that thu stuff is reely safe and I doant think I ben hurt anybit at all. Just kidding..................I was sensitized to the Shell resin with the TETA hardener system; it took a few years but when it happened I couldn't be in the same room when it was being used, with or with out a respirator. We switched to the Jeffco resin shortly after that, no problems at all and have been using it for 5 or 6 years now. The crew I worked with use respirators, but if a door was open I generally found it tolerable. And we made a lot of tools and parts. The "in" thing now is resin infusion, no smell at all! Brad |

It's obviously a case of "Live, eat, poo* and BREATH" gliders. * You know what I mean! |

nasty, smelled terribly and they were not safe to use without respiratory protection. What changed? MGS resins contain no aromatic armines. They recommend to wear gloves since for some it's hypoallergenic, but overall it's pretty inert. Kinda smells kinda like pretzel ,dough, with a tiny drop of ammonia. Nice stuff to work with... and was also available 20yrs ago. -Paul |

Nobody worries about health anymore. After all, we have Obamacare to take care of us! Personally, I plan to stick with protection BEFORE it becomes a problem |

No glider to work on, but I plan to be doing some fiberglass work on my certified single engine experimental over the winter, so I'll keep checking the microwave intrusion detectors for the Feds while I'm working away. |
