Manic weather here in Denver.

70ish and sunny yesterday.  Cold front came in last night.

Got about an inch of snow overnight and it is currently 29* and overcast with occasional flurries.

Tomorrow is forecasted to be more appropriate for the season at 54*.

But...the forecast for next Friday and Saturday is a high of 87*.  In make the beast with two backsing March.      

It's been years since I've seen 4 members online at the same time.

Honestly I would need a paint booth.

Paint booths aren't perfect...just sayin'.

A lot depends on the weight of the particulates.

You'll need to work in an industrial hood.

Quote from: Monsterlover on Yesterday at 12:10:21 PMIs working with the raw material a problem?  I know once it's cured with resin and you're cutting it that's bad to breathe

It's the c/f, not the resin. If you create airborne pieces, even cutting with scissors, it's very hazardous. Cutting cured pieces with power tools obviously creates more dust.

Just wear a respirator...I recommend this one...

Your goatee is a no-no. You can't get a good seal.

Mary will confirm.
