I was spraying yesterday, without a mask as usual but outside at least. When I went back in I looked in the mirror and my nostril hairs were white.
I'll be wearing a mask from now on.

Ahhh yes the old nostral pigment thing =] if you remove the snot from yer nose after mask less spraying you will find its also coloured like your figures... not a good thing but atleast you know your nose is in working order =]

Ever tried sanding the interior of a house before you paint it? Ugh...even *with* a mask I was hacking up 'dust balls' for the next day or so.
For modelling I'm not that concerned...we deal with a lot of mildly toxic stuff (particularly if we're casters) but in such small quantities it's not that big a deal.
I don't smoke either so I figure the odd bunch of varnish or acrylic particles that make it past my nose/throat and into my lungs should be cleaned up pretty smartly.

You know Iam not sure if your theory is right Stu, as a smoker I am 5% more likely to survive a house fire. My lungs are acustomed to smoke and the likes. Solvents and fumes are usually more directly harmful to your system ie. burning flesh etc.
Wooo hooo the unhealthy coating of tar has one good side. So its not worth smoking for that +5% on your 'resist harmful vapors' savings throw. Buy a decent mask with hard core styles carbon filters etc. protect your lungs well. Its worth it *Dustan enters a hazy dream that conveys the story I would tell about this. It ends with everyone nodding knowingly*
