I work with 3D printers that cure a liquid resin with UV light. We take safety training and use precautions. So I was dismayed at the cavalier attitude displayed by this product. From the FAQ:
Can Bondic® be handled by children?
There is no risk of skin sticking uncontrollably and dangerously. Even so, we recommend you only let children over 12-13 years handle Bondic®.
Dig deep into their site and you’ll find the material safety data sheet, which includes a number of warnings including:
Skin contact
Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water, Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
You’ll develop a sensitivity after regular contact with this sort of material. Rashes and worse can develop.
And then there’s the question of the ultraviolet light. We wear protective goggles when there’s any chance of exposure to UV light because of the potential for serious eye damage. What kind of UV light does Bondic use? From the FAQ:
What wavelength does the fluid cure at?
Thanks for asking but sometimes the chef doesn’t tell you the secrets of their recipes!
This is inexcusable.
