    stupid stupid stupid

    well now i am feeling better thought i would tell of a stupid thing i did.
    i have conformal coated countless esc,s and rx,s
    about a week a go i was doing a esc, normally i wear a mask or do it out side were its windy, i did a coat out side in the wind and hung it up to dry in my work shop,decided about half hour later to do a second coat,instead of taking it out side i gave it a quick squirt in the work shop BAD move.
    about half hour later i could feel it in my throat
    for 3 days my throat felt like it was swollen and very sore,had trouble breathing and threw up about 10 times, i still am not 100%
    hopefully others may read this and not be so stupid
    "wear a mask"

    Were you using the Canadian made stuff? I know the stuff is bad but wonder if maybe one brand is worse then the others? 3M? Sorry to hear about it effecting you. Probably nasty stuff to get in the lungs. I wear a mask too when spraying.

      the stuff i use john is made by electrolube
      its different to the last lot i was using,thinner and dries a lot faster.
      a mate of mine has some dowle corning conformal coat,its now not available as it was taken of the market due to it being so bad, it works better than anything else we have tried
      but if you get one small wiff it will drop you on your ass,need to be real careful with that one

            I have been using the MG Chemicals version. Doesnt stink too bad but its got MEK and Xylene as solvents and neither is good stuff to breathe. Thankfully I dont have to water proof too much gear as of late. But I guess compared to the prop dust we generate the devil is in the details. Taking precautions will ensure we all become cantankerous old bastards!
