I've heard this before. I believe absorption of epoxy during an acetone wash is unlikely, inasmuch as acetone is not absorbed readily through the skin. Skin is remarkably impervious to most solvents. Exception: DMSO, which goes right through. However, use of acetone might increase the surface area of contact, and thereby increase the chance of sensitization. Maybe soap and water is better. I'll contact Kern Hendricks (owns System Three) to see what the authoritative word is, and report back. Thanks for raising the warning, Jim. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Jun 01 1999 - 07:11:31 PDT
