I appreciate all the response on the safety issue. My concerns in bringing this
up was to see if anyone out there was also having an allergic reaction to the
epoxy resin and if there was a considerable amount of users having a reaction
to the resin bring it to Cibas attention. I have seen a dermatologist and also
have call Ciba Furane Health hotline (1-800-888-8372).

At present time I use a barrier cream, latex non-powder gloves over cotton
gloves to wick away moisture. I sand my parts in a fume hood to draw away any
dust. I change gloves frequently and wash my hands between changes also using
skin lotion to keep my hands moist. I feel I take all the neccesary precautions
and that this is just an isolated incident. Thanks again :)~
