I have a high speed fan, a mask, I hold my breath when the glue is open... I finally decided that I was poisoning myselrf, and went back to the ambroid. It's what we do here... "Watching the glue dry..."

You can get odourless CA at most LHS. Bob Smith adhesives is one brand that offers it. I too suffer from the same as you, makes me feel like I have a head cold. I found that by not putting my head directly over the parts I am gluing, try to keep off to the side a bit. Plus if you have small breeze, such as from a fan, that will help as well. When you get your face directly over the fumes, is when it gets into your nasal track and causes the problem. It has never been proven that some people are "allergic" to CA, but some exhibit higher forms of sensitivity to it.

Odourless CA? Walmart? Talk to me!

Same here, cold-like symptoms a few hours after using the stuff. If I've not had much exposure to it in the past month or two then I can get away with using a little, but not enough to build a plane out of. A friend of mine has also discovered CA sickness and will have to find a different way to glue his stuff.

I'm the same Bill. The CA also affects me. I found some Odourless CA and that works fine for me.

That must suck Bill. I could'nt be without my trusty bottle of CA.

yeah but every time I use that stuff it gives me the flu... No kidding, can't breath for a week. I seem to be ultra sensitive to the stuff.

Looking forward to seeing them. I may try to pick up another Comet kit soon but unfortunately they are a little more than a $1.50 these days... I still have to get through some other kits before my wife lets me buy more.

Thank you! This is one of those Comet Kits that went for like a buck and a half back in the day. It's not easy to build at all, much less build straight. Mine isn't, as you'll see. If built to plan, it'll weigh about 15 grams, (no kidding) and I didn't build to plan, as it impossible. Well, I bet Scigs could do it... Anyway, more pics...

Good luck on this one Bill! I saw this online and was considering buying it, but it looks like it will be in good hands.
