epoxy vapor dangers?

Posted by: daniel on December 13, 1999

I'm just getting started on a S&G, and I have this safety question:

Does one's workshop need to be well-ventilated when working with epoxy? Does epoxy emit significant vapor, and does the vapor represent a safety concern? And if so, for what period of time? hours? days? weeks?

I have scanned through the Sys3 manual a couple of times and only found one statement (which I don't have in front of me at this second), something about how its high vapor pressure keeps it from being a problem.

Building in the basement instead of the (detached, unheated) garage would be a heck of a lot easier... :)
