I know that the resin that FW and other companies use is toxic if inhaled, CARCINOGENIC even, necessitating a mask and extreme care when sanding etc. But what about this new Finecast stuff? They keep referring to it as "resin" which makes me worry that it might have similar dangers. I myself am already chemically sensitive (have to wear a 3M full-face chemical filter mask just to glue or prime my models) and, my wife is pregnant, so naturally I am far more concerned than I normally am.

Can anyone confirm or deny that the new materials are safe for working with in a household? (normal modeling use - I'm not snorting lines of plastic/metal/resin particles, but my work table is in the room I sleep in.

I would be very grateful if someone can help me figure out an answer to this question. Thanks in advance Dakka community!

It's a resin/plastic composite so that is why it is safer than true resin.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/371181/2845457.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/371181/2845457.page GMT FB account/ the finecast thread:

Games Workshop: Also, chaps, we've spotted the odd comment about the safety of the resin. As with all our products, this has been vigorously checked. There are currently many formulations of resin used across the world. The resin material we are using for Citadel Finecast models has undergone testing by a leading international toy safety testing agency. They identified no risks to health and recommend no special precautions.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/371181/2845460.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/371181/2845460.page GMT cures cancer.

It would often save time over asking a question here and provide a more reliable answer than waiting for total strangers to reply with what may or may not be accurate information.

Can't accuse me of flaming cos asbestos is non flammable!

Seriously, are they suggesting there would be no problems inhaling any dust from sanding? There may not be, just wondering. Personally I would still take the same precautions to prevent chest problems.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/371181/2845488.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/371181/2845488.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/371181/2845491.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/371181/2845491.page GMT
