The major toxic ingredients (n-hexane, toluene) are common to many, if not most glues (including good ol' airplane glue from our childhoods).
Once it dries, it is safe.
If you don't go out of your way to stick your snout in it, you will be just fine.
Shooting a staple thru your hand is a more serious risk for most of us.
Something like that.
What qualifications do you have to give advice on using a hazardous material. I am sure OSHA would be interested.
It is pretty much what I do for a living. If the way I do it bothers OSHA, they haven't said anything.
If you exercise reasonable caution with the stuff, you'll be fine. All solvents, found in almost all glues, have about the same toxicity profile. Look up the msds for the super glue that holds your cue tip on, it should be even scarier.
As a point of reference, I would never think of keeping gasoline in my garage. I regard that as too dangerous. It's not like I'm reckless.
For a really scary solvent, try carbon disulfide. It totally kicks ass.
3M must be bad when even their Post-It gel pens can mess you up.

Its for information purposes only. But the law does require this information to be readily available............mainly because it has info for what do in case of emergency. The other stuff is important to bu mainly to inform people of the possible dangers. You guys get too excited:rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao1::yeah:
My only problem with wearing the respirator would be having to get all new company shirts.
All I know after 26 years of using 3M10...is don't sniff more than one quart at a time and you'll be fine:smile2:
Just in case anybody wonders what harm may come from using or being near the glue made by 3M.![]()
