When doing my background, I accidentaly got a little toluene on my index finger and didnt bother washing it off until I had finished working. The cap design is horrible on the tins, so the toluene pours all over the place and just runs down the side. It definitely dried the sh*t out of my finger and a thin layer of dead skin peeled off over the next few days, but this is because I didnt wash it off. I wouldnt be overly concerned about using gloves while painting the mixture on the backgrounds, only when working with the pure toluene. Or just be smart and wash your hands if you get some on yourself. My finger hasnt been dissolved to the bone or fallen off, just a little dry skin....

I understand and second frogfreak.. no offense susan but everytime I read you, you seem to be going off topic and being "wear mask, read msds" ;p
I was asking if there was bigger differences than I thought regarding turpentine...
I am not even stating I am wearing gloves and ventilating my garage which is something quite easy, as good as being outside just because it's common sense and unrelated to my questions anyways!

So I'll take it turpentine as the same final result, but just take much longer than toluene and xylene to cure?

Even outside, I still smell if whenever I go by a few feet from it!!! Crazy stuffs... I recommand against using this product.

Are you still smelling the turpentine days after, or could it just be the silicone? At least for my case using toluene, the majority of the smell dissipated within 6 hours, and everything was done inside my condo. There is no "curring" of the turpentine, only evaporation.

And Leuc11, feel free to pm me, or look through my build thread for info on my specific mixture.
