Notes on Carbon Dust

1. Its harmful to your lungs.
    Result: Black lung. (Not limited to coal miners)
    Prevention: Respirator. If you can taste the dust, its already in your lungs
    Care: None

2. Its harmful to your skin
   Result: Severe irritation and tiny splinters.
   Prevention: None
   Care: Extremely warm showers followed by a towel fresh from the dryer
            because you are not paying for utilities

Note: Building a boat involves dust

Time to go to sleep. For the record 10pm is an extremely late bedtime when work is at 0730.

  1. Don't forget the epoxy and resin. They are just plain carcinogenic and been giving people cancer for a long time.
