    Help please?

    I've been trying my hand at pouring a few worms (less than a pint of plastic), everything I've read and all the videos I've watched say to wear gloves and eye protection. I just read on another forum that you should wear a respirator. Any advice will be appreciated, looks like they would tell you that on their videos or it would have a warning on the bottle.

    you should wear a respirator and gloves (the plastic is over 350 degrees and it will stick to your skin) I wear a respirator it can't be good to inhale the smoke and fumes from the plastic. Should wear heavy pants and long sleeves. You need to be prepared for that plastic ending up where it does not belong (especially if you are injecting). If you are not pouring in a garage you should have some ventilation to the outside also.

    Definately wear gloves! If I can find it I will post the pic of the second degree burns I received when about 3 ozs of molten plastic poured over my hand.
