This is not something for kids to even be around.
I said the exact things you are saying when I started stripping furniture at the age of 16. "The chemicals don't hurt my hands, so I don't need gloves" My dad thought I was tough.
It is not only so the chemicals do not burn your hands, it is so the chemicals do not absorb into your system!
Just because a smell does not bother someone anymore does not mean it is not effecting your body.
I spent years working with strong smelling chemicals and not taking the proper steps to protect myself.
I ended up getting sicker and sicker. At the age of 50 I was getting my affairs in order. It took 2 years for me to find a dr. to figure out what was wrong with me. After a bunch of blood tests the Dr finally discovered that my system was overloaded with heavy metals and toxic chemicals.
I spent 6 months,3 times a week, 5 hours each, with an IV in my arm having chelation done to flush everything out. The cost is not covered by insurance and it was right up there with buying a new car!
I am ok now, but a lot poorer and I lost 2 years of my life.
OK I have had my say.It was not at all to offend you or anyone.
I just really needed to say something because of the children.
I know you might say it is none of our business, but when it was filmed and shown to us, yes it became our business.
