You might remember Walter that you kindly demonstrated your CA methods when I first started turning pens and I quickly learned how to get a good finish almost every time but I really don't like the experience one bit. I use extraction and heat as I don't like accelerator, I wear a mask (usually a Trend aishield) but it still makes my eyes water at times as I need to remove it to closely examine the finish which is why I'm progressing with other methods.
You're spot on with your assessments Walter, what we're doing as hobbyists wouldn't be allowed in the workplace on H&S grounds without full breathing and eye protection. The long term affects are not yet really known and I applaud your efforts in putting your views in print. Those of us who are experienced enough can choose already knowing the risks, pros and cons but it's correct that these should be pointed out to newcomers. :up:
