CatchemCaro Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 How bad is Envirotex for us? And what percautions should we be using other then good ventilation? Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Envirotex Lite is a pour-on epoxy that contains some solvent. Compared to 2 part auto polyurethanes containing isocyanate, it is very benign. Some people are skin sensitive to epoxies. I don't use a mask when brushing epoxies and don't think many others do either. If you intend to spray it, that's a different kettle of fish.

pikester Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I used Etex to seal 4 baits one night last week in a room without ventilation & no mask. I did notice I was dizzy afterwards so I will definitely be using ventilation or at least a mask from now on. Better to be safe than sorry I think!

21xdc Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I have used many types of 2 part epoxies including several e-tex products. I have never noticed any smell or fumes from them. I do use a brush for applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatchemCaro Posted June 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Thanks, I have been brushing with no mask of any kind. I have good ventalation and I don't really notice much as far as fumes. I am brushing a lot of baits in a run and I'm just wanting to be sure I'm not killing myself while doing so. I now also us a small fan at the doorway of my shop for even more fresh air. Thanks again for the feed back. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
