Built a muffler last night (really pleased with how it came out and sounds). Woke up with a sore throat. By lunch a had just a touch of the shakes. Called the FLAPS where I bought some of the piping and they guy said it was galvanised. When I bought the stuff, I specifically asked about this, as it was hard to tell if the parts were coated (not the usual sheen). The other guy said he thought they were just aluminized and would be fine to weld. Being a beginner - I believed him.
Any idea how this will last? I spent a continuous 2-3 hours last night breathing this crap. I litterally feel like I have a mild flu. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

Scott,
Galv is accumulative. It never really leaves your system. The sickness will pass but you will more sensetive to the fumes next time. Take some real asprin for the headache at the back of your skull and eye sockets and drink milk. The milk will help with the throat and the nausia. Becareful out there kids. |
