Peter,<br>You are not alone! It does seem that some folks are not as sensitive to CA fumes as we are, though. <br>Although I haven't tried it, some techs have had success with "no odor" formulations of CA. While I voiced some scepticism that "just cuz you can't smell it doesn't mean its good for you", those in the know replied that its vapors are actually heavier, and less likely to float up into one's face.

Hi,<br><br>About a year ag, I joined the host of techs using superglue to fix<br>loose tuning pins; early on, I put up with burning throat, nose, eyes.<br><br>Recently I have been using an OSHA approved respirator, which has cured

<br><br>Question: am I alone in this, perhaps because of extreme sensitivity<br>that others don't have, or some allergic reaction? Or, have others<br>experienced this, and found an answer?<br><br><br>Peter Poole<br>Registered Piano Technician
