WORKING WITH POLYESTER RESIN?

I'm brand new to resin casting, and wanted to make my boyfriend coasters for his birthday with embedments.I went to Michael's and bought Castin Craft polyester resin with catalyst - having no idea there was an epoxy type. I know polyester is fairly toxic, I kept the windows open with a fan with an OSHA mask on while working with it, but I'm sure I inhaled a ton of fumes. I only worked with it on two separate days - that was it and now that I know about epoxy I threw out the polyester and bought epoxy to work with. I only got a slight headache from it, but I'm kind of concerned about the long term effects. Should I be worried about my exposure, even though it was short-term?

Answer:

I do dressage and I love Lusi's too. They aren't all that hot in fact they are bred to have interest in threats to them. That is why they are the breed used for bull fighting, they aren't easy to scare away. The biggest problem with using them in dressage is that they have all that collection and that hurts you when you try to do an extension. But with the right training you can get the extension. I've looked online a lot and many people compare their warmbloods with baroques on the same tests. They find that the scores even out. The warmbloods movement gets it good points, and the baroques natural collection gives them good points. I really like them and I'd love to (when I grow up) have one that can do some high school dressage :)
go to any burger king, they don't use gloves at all and handle the food with bare hands. and i still think that burger king dude on the commercials is creepy.
When was the last time you took a food safety course? yes things have changed in most parts of the country. Many places now require the use of gloves around food products, whether it is the law or not.
