Question For Experienced Prop Makers: Ventilation Requirements? - The Death Curse - 01-30-2009
I have a question for anyone who's had prior experience in using the above-mentioned materials...How worried should I be about proper ventilation when using these three products in particular? (IE: open my windows, wear a face mask, use *outside* of the home, etc.) I'd like to go ahead and purchase all my molding materials from Smooth-On, but it's still randomly very cold here, so I would have to use all of those products indoors if I were to mold my sculpture sometime soon. Is this a good idea?Thanks in advance,Ryan

Don' the containers tell you? They should. If they are harmful they have to tell you to ventilate the area. I guess the rule of thumb is, any chemical you should wear a mask and ventilate the room (open a window).

That what the MSDS is for. You don't want safety advice from a bulletin board because the 12 year olds come out of the woodwork with crap about how "ahh.. that's just to scare you.. I use my bed as a workbench and never had a problem." lol Everything Smooth-on sells has an MSDS, and it's all right here:<a href=\"http://www.smooth-on.com/technical_msds.php\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.smooth-on.com/technical_msds.php</a>

Legally, every place that sells anything must provide MDSD sheets upon request- something to keep in mind whenever in doubt.I work in body art, and OSHA makes us keep MSDS sheets on EVERYTHING even soaps, saline, windex, cleaning supplies etc.

<b>Deadguy:</b> Best advice ever. heh.I, being a total idiot, didn't even know what an MSDS was...So I checked out the link and found everything I needed to know. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"
\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" />'Looks like I can perform the brush-on silicone portion of the mold in-house at any time as long as I have on a dust mask and open some windows. Everything else will probably need to be done out in the storage building on a warmer day. I'll have to think of some way to organize time for it later.Thanks again for the help,Ryan
