Fw: Solder fume extractor recommendation solicited

[Fred (FL)]

If you are having these medical problems, with
soldering - it might just mean that you aren't
meant to do any soldering.  There are plenty of
K2 builder resources out there.

I have a very good friend who had great allergic
reactions to boat-building epoxy resins.  Even years
after the boat was completed - he used to get
reactions just getting down in inner areas of the
epoxy fiberglass plywood stitch and glue boat he
had built.  In his case, he was just barely able to
get thru with the year-long boat building project -
with the help of major garage exhaust fans and all
sorts of fumes enclosures.

I suspect some of us are just allergic to certain
situations and fumes or chemicals.  Me it is
bees ..............

Good luck,
Fred, FL

I found using one of those old smoke eaters works great.  I just put the bottom near the board and the fumes get directed away.  They have an active charcoal filter.  I bought mine at a second hand store for $3.00.

Hard to beat and works great!

I used to restore antiques....and after several bad reactions, the doc told me I
could choose between the business an cortizone, or another life style.

I chose to walk away....but to this day, if I go into a building where someone
have used anything other than water-based finishes...I get a real bad reaction.
