Good day all:

I have seen a large conversation around Amine Blush on layups.  I would like
to take the opportunity to pass along an experience that happened to me
regarding this topic.

I have had a 3xx standard build kit for about a year an a half.  After about
two months of working on the plane, I started to develop a strong allergic
reaction to the epoxy resin (Jeffco).  I suffered through this for a time,
and called the factory.  I spoke with Don, and was told that the reaction
was actually a sensitivity to the amine's that are in the hardener and given
off during cure. (Hence the amine blush ;-) )
The sensitivity to the epoxy could be controlled through the use of a common
herbal derivitive called milk thistle (silamarin).  About 15 bucks canadian
(10 US) at the drug store.

I pass this along for a couple of reasons.  First, I have not seen this on
the list yet, and second it really worked.  I have had a relatively trouble
free 6 months of sticking and sanding.

James
