Question on using resin

General Discussion
1

Hello,

I have recently just finished the glassing on a surfboard using polyester resin, I have done 5 coats of it in total. At the time I was doing it was was quite ignorant and did not realise the health hazzards associated with polyester resin, and did the glassing indoors and was exposed to the resin for around 15-30 minutes at a time, without any respirator mask of any kind, although did use latex gloves and wore overalls. After looking it up on the internet I am still quite unclear of the hazzards and so was asking if I will be okay, or if I need to see a doctor or something.

Thank you

Can you remember your name?

Anything falling off?

Anything growing on you that shouldn’t be there?

If no to all the above, you’ll be o.k. (hahaha). Short term exposure shouldn’t do any long term damage. Just use proper protection from now on. Better yet, switch to epoxy. Less fumes & stronger.

You’ll be fine.

If you and your family are not dead in 3-5 days every thing will be just fine
