Question on Epoxy

FWIW, one can cash in on the experiences of those on this forum and other forums. I got a Titebond brochure at Lowe's a while back that outlines each of the TB products. I am looking to switch over to Rod Bond, an adhesive made for the rod building market. This is from a recommendation of a friend.

One more comment on epoxy: show the stuff due respect. And never use a solvent to remove from your skin - any solvent, especially acetone, jams the stuff into your bloodstream. Best cleaner is Fast Orange which can be bought at any automotive or hardware store.

John, I would be interested in knowing and reviewing your source material for your comment on absorption of bad stuff when cleaning epoxy off with solvents.

Thanks.

The solvent, in this case acetone, is really bad for your body and easily absorbed through the skin. As for jamming epoxy into the skin by using it, I don't know about that.
