I experienced similar symptoms a few years ago. A dealer I did some work for had me CA the bridge pins on a grand he was rebuilding. I was stuffy for a few days afterward and didn't make the connection. The second time I used CA, on another grand bridge, I was plugged solid for a week. That time I figured it out. Both these jobs used glue he got from Dryburgh, and both times I was working in a fairly well ventilated room. I guess I'm just a sensitive guy. I know at least two other people have done the same job in the same room and suffered no ill effects. I haven't used CA of any sort since, and I don't plan on any experiments. I haven't been in any situations where epoxy or other more traditional substances wouldn't work just as well. (OK, I know lots of you disagree vehemently with that statement, so don't bother clogging up the list :-). I'm still never using the stuff again.) Regards, Ken Z.
