But if someone is so ignorant, i will not teach him what the differences are
Bumping this thread because it has been quite a while and while I hate to respond to attacks like the one above I guess I have to address the matter.
Everything that I've brought up in this thread can be verified in 5 seconds of Google searching on multiple authoritative sites. Couple that with over 30 years in and around the automotive and model industries AND training in organic chemistry and I've no qualms whatsoever about stating that the "don't worry be happy" mentality of a few responses in this thread have no basis in reality.

So what should i talk about when i do my job and use it mainly 8 hours each working day, and that for a decade of more than 20 years???
You will not be hurt so easy, for sure!
The information I shared was that the materials are hazardous. Period. Not hazardous only in large amounts, not hazardous only if ingested, not hazardous if used only sporadically but hazardous in very small amounts and in one-time use unless strict precautions and protocols are followed. To spread any information even implying anything less is just unconscionable.
I've no idea, and don't really care, why some individual who claims to have been a painter for 20 years or whatever would feel the need to minimize the concerns about these substances or what the products in the 80s and 90s being dangerous too have to do with anything. Carelessness with isocyanate paints can leave you with life-altering conditions with minimal exposure. The damage is irreversible. Why anyone would minimize that threat is just beyond any rational explanation.
Don't believe me? How about the health and safety arm of the British government which found that people exposed to isocyanates in the work place were NINETY times more likely to suffer occupational asthma than the rest of the workforce. NINETY times! Studies in New Zealand, Australia, Europe and the United States confirm these findings. This information and much more has been known about and publicized in the automotive industry for almost 20 years but certain individuals still think that occasional use and an "I'll be fine" attitude will see them through.
