I was explaining the procedure and used the term CA to the wife, then stopped to explain it was Superglue but in a different form. She looked me in the eye and said yes I know, I'm a chemical engineer! The point of this story is she, her 2 daughters and 6 month old baby were in close proximity when I did the CA treatment and she was unconcerned about the fumes, except to help me set up my fan to keep my eyes from watering too badly! I don't believe we have anything to be concerned about. Mike -- Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.
