Author Topic: I feel terrible :c  (Read 669 times)

I was sanding the prefab Sealer off of that guitar I'm building, and I got down to the wood, but it looked odd, like it didn't have any natural pattern like the wood next to it, so I sanded it down some more. At this point some of the plastic that makes up a the border of the guitar comes off. I decided whatever and I continued to sand, I didn't like it anyways. Now I make it a point to get it off. I'm doing this, and it's working alright, but I'm getting this awful feeling like I'm sick. I instantly remember this feeling from when the I thought I broke my dad's computer. I didn't like it, and I thought it was odd because I wasn't messing up anything. it soon becomes overpowering and I have to go inside because I feel like I'm going to throw up. I call my dad and tell him what is going on. He said that it was probably the paint stripper I was using earlier, but that didn't make sense to me because I ran out of it about two hours ago. I tried watching some television and that worked for a while, but now it's coming back. Now that I think about it it could be the fact that I'm sanding plastic, but I don't quite know.

This guitar project is becoming more hell than I ever fathomed it being.

You're inhaling toxic chemicals.

Same stuff happened when I used to make rocket candy with my neighbors. The loving potassium nitrate fumes make you barf your guts out.

I'm not too experienced in this, but maybe buying a cheap solder fume extractor and putting it next to your guitar might move the dust away.

Now that I think about it it could be the fact that I'm sanding plastic, but I don't quite know.

Even I know this is a bad idea.



What's this about
are you seriously this stupid? why would you even come into a topic and do this unless you are absolutely trying your hardest to be an idiot?

On serious note it probably was a bad idea to be sanding plastic in the first place

Guitar is probably cursed. Throw it out now.

What's this about
He's trying to build a rocket but it all went horribly wrong. He codenamed it 'guitar' so the government wouldn't go after him.

Aren't TL;DR posts bannable?

Are you wearing one of those mask things?

idk what they're called, here's a picture.



You should do that when sanding something with chemicals.  You're supposed to wear them when sanding anything but only pros do that :P
