Cal Bassin Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Is shaping this stuff toxic to my health? I wore a mask, but man did I have a headache last night! But man is this stuff fun to work with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I'm no expert, but I would say that the sanding/saw dust is bad for you, just like any other dust, and the fumes generated when you machine it and it gets hot and melts are toxic. PVC is a nasty chemical when it's melted. So be sure you have good ventilation when you're using a power tool on it, and a dust mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
