Bondo's affect on your health?

ATOMICMAN · Post by **ATOMICMAN** » Tue Apr 03, 2007 7:10 am

dont eat it, dont touch food after handling wet bondo or sanding bondo, dont breathe in the dust from sanding it (wash your hands

), avoid breathing in the fumes from wet bondo, etc... just dont be stupid and youll be fine.

alright here, if you set bondo on fire the fumes and smoke are toxic, stay away from burning bondo

also the reason solder is so bad is that is contains lead, which is bad if injested, do not hold solder in your mouth

also, most allocations of cancer have some sort of justification, just be smart and research whatever you look up to find out the cases in which they guarantee cancer and avoid, this is called proper saftey control

Oh, a spelling error is in the title. It should say Effect, not Affect

Everything is known to cause cancer (and birth defects) in the state of California.

I'm sure breathing too much bondo dust when sanding is bad. Just to be safe use one of those dust masks or sand outside.

Everything causes cancer in Claifornia. It must be a scary, tumor-laden place!

I've never modified a case however I have modified very many Rubik's type puzzles. If you're interested, I use Apoxie Sculpt which is a 2 part epoxy putty.

*non-toxic
*11 colors
*stays soft for at least an hour, handles exactly like clay. After you get it applied, wet your finger or finishing tool and it smoothes over like glass. It can really cut down on finishing time since it stays soft for so long theres no rushing.
It's really inexpensive too!

Here's a link "http://www.avesstudio.com/Products/Apox ... culpt.html"

If you live in Europe a similar product is Milliput

I hope this helps someone.

Yeah, I retyped it a couple times, I settled on Affect in the end hoping it'd be correct

Thanks for the tip skeneegee. I'll try that out... anyone else tried this stuff? If not I'll just use Bonbo, I'm not usually paranoid about this stuff, as I do solder, but just saw it and panicked I guess.

I shall put the tiniest amount of bondo on my tongue, and spit and wash profusely. All for the sake of you guys knowing what it tastes like!
