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. <BR>Patrick Draine<BR><BR> <DIV><SPAN class=gmail_quote>On 4/26/06, <B class=gmail_sendername>Poole Peter</B> <<A href="mailto:ppoole@metrocast.net">ppoole@metrocast.net</A>> wrote:</SPAN> <BLOCKQUOTE class=gmail_quote style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid">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>my burning nose and throat; but my eyes, oh my!<BR>After about 15 minutes they start (and progressively get worse<BR>throughout the procedure) watering, then stinging, then burning.
