Although I agree I came on a little strong with my risk assessment, my intent with that post certainty wasn't to stir any fear mongering. I'm sorry if you thought it was damaging to the community in any way, I was just trying to share a possible concern about toxicity.
That being said though, I do believe that there is risk that people should take into account when doing this. Please keep in mind here that we are not talking about professionally manufactured fiberglass processing in painted and finished props (which I fully trust), this thread is about glassing the inside of your bucket with DIY storebought resin kits with the high-likelihood of inexact catalyzer mixtures and environmental situations that could inhibit curing. Fully cured resin is inert and safe, yes, but even with very exact mixtures in optimal conditions it can take up to a week or two for polyester resin to reach a fully cured degassed state, and in poorer mixtures with less optimal conditions I've read numerous threads of "why does my resin still smell after weeks??". I myself have had poorer cures that I definitely wouldn't have trusted as a wearable. The concern here is trace uncured resin.
I agree that I very likely over-stated the exposure risk in my previous posts, we are likely talking about very trace amounts here and I'm sure it takes quite a bit more exposure than wearing a mask for a few hours every few weeks to come even remotely close to risk levels. However, neither of us are experts, and yes, personally, it's something that I myself am still paranoid over considering what I've read of the long-term exposure effects of the material and how easy it is to completely mitigate the problem anyway.
Just make sure your resin is curing properly, then seal it over, it's really a non-issue considering how easy the solution is. Alternatively like I said, there's other solutions too like adding additional urethane coats.
Again, I'm not trying to create a ruckus here or disturb the established dogma. I just wanted people to be aware of the material they're using and recommend they seal over their DIY glassing. I'm not trying to make any bigger statements than that, sorry if I offended you.
