Richard,
A few years ago I ran across the issue of Amine Blush when
researching what
type heat to use in my hangar. I haven't heard of anyone actually
experiencing the problem but have included a link to an article I found on
the internet.
I have stayed away from using salamander heaters just to be on the safe side
during my build. I live in Maine and obviously have
to heat the workspace a
lot more than you would.

Hope this helps

Question on working with eGlass
The CO2 makes it much worse, because it makes the
water acidic. I stopped using a Red Dragon propane heater on my Cessna
engine and went to electrics and a generator when I say what the condensate was
doing.

It isn't the CO that is rusting the metal. It is the
fact that the metal is cold and the heater warms the room. Just like a cold
glass, the metal condenses water out of the air. This water helps it to rust.
If the room were keep warm all of the time the metals
would not rust.

Any heater that exhausts
carbon monoxide into your hangar will cause everything metal to rust if you use
it continually. I used a large torpedo heater for one winter and discontinued
its use because everything metal that was exposed started to rust or
exfoliate, plus all that carbon monoxide was not good for me to breathe.
I don't think the CO will hurt the e-glass.

As it’s starts to get cooler (It’s never really cold
in Austin) I have thought about auxiliary heat for the hanger.
Is there any problem with some of the forced air
heaters Diesel/Jet Fuel, or Propane in terms of the interacting negatively with
the E-glass construction.
i.e. If it’s ok for me to breathe is it ok in the
construction environment ? These are not externally vented so I was worried
about chemical interaction with the exhaust fumes.
