Hey guys,

My first thought was chemical and toxin release also. One way to test it would be to build one, test the water and then pour into the pot. You could go 2 ways with this test from here. Let it sit at room temp for x amount of hrs and then sample the water again to see if any new chemicals show up. Or boil water and test to see if the heat released anything. I would think that for awhile chemicals will be released, but you may get less and less with more you until nothing is released. On the other hand, it could always continue to release chemicals in a non safe amount. I know that while working with things like resin, you need PPE. I often paint motorcycles and cars. I use PPE while painting and clearing also, but once its cured I know longer need it. I know youre not eating off your car, but maybe the harm is mainly in the process and not in the result.
