Super Glue question.

[Grimtooth]

Anyone here ever get some respiratory irritation from super glue? I was working on some rhinos last night and accidentally got a pretty harsh hit of some fumes. I have been clogged up and snotty all day and at first thought it was just allergies, but am now thinking different.

[Azekai]

Well, I don't know about an allergic reaction (you might want to switch brands), but I have gotten a bit loopy from being exposed to the fumes for too long. Make sure you are in a well-ventilated area, to be sure!

I've never had either of your guys's pro'lems, but I do get sever eye irritation, so I have to wear goggles, and the fumes make me choke.

[Grimtooth]

Oh, I am not allergic to the actual glue itself. I mean that I think with the hard shot of fumes I got last night, I might have like chemical burned my sinus' or something to cause all the congestion I had all day. I was blaming it on just normal allergies to dust/pollen, but remember this happening the last time I got a harsh shiff of fumes using super glue.

Use the Gel type SuperGlue instead of the liquid, for some reason the fumes arent as bad plus it doesn't run :lol:

I dont use superglue but revell plastic glue. I never got any raspirational problems but a long time ago I used to have all my models in my bedroom (when I was about 14 back then and only had one room) and I got a lot of headaches at this time. So today I pay attention to build my models in a big and if possible well ventilated room. I also keep them in my bathroomwindow for a few days until the worst of the smell is gone. In my room I always keep my models in a closed box.

 

So you should probably be more careful while building your models since every kind of glues just cant be good for your lungs and your breathing.

 

I can also just recommend seeing a doctor instead of posting your problem on a board. I know people tend to seek medical advice over the internet nowerdays but I prevere relying on someone whos medical knowledge does not come from google and wikipedia. Even if the BOS Brothers are well-disposed toward each other ^_^

I was only asking if someone had a similar experience. If I felt I needed to go to the doctor, I would.

Of cause.

As I said we are all just concerned about the wellbeing of our fellow brothers :)

 

Meanwhile I remembered having heared about those respirational problems. This however was in connection with those guys who like to sniff glue ( dont know how to call it you certainly know what I mean). I guess they also use normla super glue to get high. I am afraid you experienced something similar - just without getting high ^^
