That’s horrible to hear. Were you working on octura props? I talked to Jim Schaefer the owner of abc and he said his props don’t contain enough beryllium to be toxic but octura does. I always wear a mask and try and keep things wet. 99% of the props I do are abc.

Screw octura - do they really need that toxic crap in their props? ABC is fine without it, why can't octura do the same?
It's amazing how people don't seem to take this seriously. Imagine how many naive beginners are messing up themselves ... and not knowing any better.Comment

I dunno but when I first starting doing octura props I wasn’t wearing a mask. I’m probably messed up too and not aware of it. I haven’t had any issues that I know of. I have been scanned several times and been operated on and numerous tests been run on me since then and nothing has showed up. Maybe I was just lucky.

Sorry to hear that John. Glad you are doing better. I think you should copy that post into a new thread and it should be made a sticky.Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.

Same here, when I first started doing my own props I never wore a mask and did my props DRY. . .no wet sanding or anything until I got educated and most of my props at that time were mostly Octura. OMG, I wonder if my shortness of breath and the inability to do any running or just something strenuous, even for a short moment, could be related to beryllium copper poisoning. I think I'm going to have to have some tests done.Comment
