At the very least, two strong fans pulling the fumes away from you, ideally
straight out a window.
Ideally, use a state of the art respirator which feeds you air from outside.
And always wear gloves to protect your skin.
 Stop work and go for a short walk if the fumes start "getting to you". The
shop where I buy CA keeps it locked because some foolish lowlifes buy or
steal it to get high (while runing their lungs & liver).
