Location: Oregon		I have been breathing the stuff for years now, twitch, twitch, and really haven't noticed that's bad for me at all....hack, hack. In fact, over time, I have grown to enjoy the epoxy almost as much as the melted lead.........step drag, step drag...............step drag

It's better to keep it in a small area, like a plastic bag. Then hold the bag over your mouth and nose and take short, quick breaths. I think you'll get the effect you're going for. Hee hee.
