I understand pretty much the importance of gloves, ventilation, respirators and eye protection but the wikipedia entry for Bisphemol A makes for an overwhelmingly long read scattered with some quite alarming comments.
So id like to clear up a few things.

Gloves - i wear gloves to protect myself from the sticky stuff and sanding dust but should i be wearing them when i demold? ie does the blush contain bisphemol A or anything else i should be concerned about.

Eye protection - I wear glasses when i work and back them up with safety glasses when im cutting or machining compotes. However is it the fumes i should be worrying about and hence should be wearing goggles (even un-vented goggles ?)? I did do this for a while but found they steamed up so much as to cause more danger by blinding me. If i should put them back on how do i stop them from steaming up?

Respirators and ventilation - i work i n a shed so when im wet laying i leave a window open and have an extractor ( bathroom ) drawing from a channel drilled out along its length that runs along the length of my bench about 18 inches above it. I wear a 3m respirator with 6054 filters (+amonia) that my local h+S supplier tells me are the best for the job. I store the filters in zip seal bags between jobs ... Does this seem like adequate precaution.. Are these the best filters for the job ? Should i run a mile if i get an exotherm ?

Dust - use separate dust filters when sanding and machining. That i also store in zip sael bags

Thanks
Ben
