The other day when doing a hotcoat I some how managed to get some resin on my lip.Stupid, I know. I was working in the garage and didn’t have enough time to come in and wash it off so I thought I wiped it all off with my sleeve.GUESS NOT. Its fine now but about thirty minutes after my entire lip was swollen. It was so weird! and it stayed like that for two days. Am i the only one out here or has anyone had any similar occurences(not necessarily your lip but any reaction to the resin)

Does that mean you didn’t have a sealed filtered mask on? The reason I say this is because, yes the resin on your lip could have caused a localized reaction but your swelling could have been from inhalation. Very common to get lip and throat swelling signaling the beginning of an anaphylactic type reaction. Maybe no big deal but could be something to be careful of in the future. I work in the ER and I have seen simple reactions get real bad real fast. If you notice this again realize that in the future it could be a problem. Hopefully this is just a one time localized reaction.
Oh and by the way that’s not stupid, it’s an accident. Trust me, my board count is 14 and I feel like I could write a book on stupid when it comes to glassing.

.....oh so THAT'S why you wear budgie smugglers when you glass , Hicksy ? [see 'coming to america' thread photo]
Epoxy or poly? If poly, you should be wearing a respirator. If epoxy, you might be sensitive to it. Some people are. Some are not.
Matt from Longboards Scarborough got some resin on his balls the other day. I didn’t investigate too closely but he was squealing like a cut pig. Not sure what he was doing to get in that position, shouldn’t leave the staff alone for too long.
when you said "put in the finbox" , he must have misunderstood , or mis-heard you , I guess , Ross !!
lucky there weren't customers there , or his girlfriend ...

Well, while we're on the subject , it's only taken me FIVE YEARS ...
.....but I can actually LAUGH about THIS , now !! ....
I decided against riding it like this , needless to say ....
and yes , the 'rescue mission' WAS a success , I'm glad to report !
[lessons learnt the HARD way , are the ones we remember the most , eh ?!]
cheers !

I know...that a complete drag, resin on the lips etc, etc.
I used to glass completely naked, but I kept dragging my crank across my freshly hotcoated rails. I went through so much acetone washing my manhood till it was squeaky clean. I had a reaction too, but my wife didn't mind.
Hey keep the resin off the face. wear a mask, wear gloves, wear a long sleeve shirt, weat a baseball cap. etc....for god sakes cover up, this shit is toxic, don't slack off for one minute.
‘so I accidentally hot coated my lip’ best removed with an 8’’ power pad, 60 grit sandpaper.
glass in the nude.new trend apparently
GREAT IDEA!!! ILL TRY THAT NEXT TIME!

I got resin in my eye once and it was an accident.
I did it again and realized I was retarded and got a full face respirator. On top of this, it is a two minute RUN from my shed to the nearest sink. The uv resin was kicking the whole time I was running and my eye socket was on FIRE!!! I don't wish this pain on my worst enemy because it is quite possibly the worst pain you can imagine. It happened when I wasn't thinking and turned upsidedown doing ding repair and when I was vigorously stirring lam resin to get the desired tint color. It sucks.... always be alert.
oops my bad.
my post should read................."which lip,top or bottoms".
there that should clear things up.

One time I confused my catalyst with my Visine. Those dam little squirt bottles feel the same when you are carrying them in yo western chaps front pocket. I put drops in both eyes before i knew what happened. I was running all over the place...kicking buckets of resin onto my naked ass. Running all blind and shit into the garage door. What a mess.
It hurt.
Now I wear protection. Here's a picture of me in my custom designed safety outfit
And a picture of my goat with his safety apparatus.

Well, I guess that would explain why your bumper sticker reads
WARNING BLIND DELIVERY GUY
eh , Jay ?
Just in case someone doesn’t know this yet:
Resin catalyst (chemical name MethylEthylKetone Peroxide, MEKP) is EXTREMELY DAMAGING to the eyes. It can cause IRREVERSIBLE damage to the eyes. BLINDNESS.
And that goes even when its already mixed up with the liquid resin.
So yeah, be very careful with this toxic shit that gives us so much joy.
ha!
back in the days we use to bathe in it !
ooh,they said it was harmless/safe !
who you say.....................
.......the same people the say artificial sweeters are safe.
.......W.M.D.s were in iraq.
