Working with Marine-Tex safety issues

[salmonee]

Are there any safety issues I should be aware of when working with Marine-Tex? I saw a video on youtube where a guy puts on a respirator because the catalyst mixed with marine-tex causes smoke? I assume it's okay to make small/minor repairs with marine-tex in a garage type settings. I think I'm going to use a box fan just as a precaution.

It makes a terrible sandwich spread and I've had no luck using it in a latt?, but it works well in crab dip with the right wine.


Just put some gloves on and you?ll be fine.

What kind of crabs, and which wine?

Also, white or gray marine-tex?

Have you checked in at Marine-Tex to see what they say?
