Don't laugh, I have actually touched asbestos and lived to tell about it. We did that a lot in high school physics class. We put a piece of asbestos on top of the Bunsen burners so the flame wouldn't break the beakers, using only our bare fingers. I even rubbed mercury onto a copper penny to make it look like a dime, using nothing but my bare fingers. When somebody dropped a mercury thermometer and broke it, we didn't run out of the school screaming. No sir, we ran toward the spot to collect the mercury for fun things, like the afore mentioned penny rubbing. Now I know why I decided to become a TV repairman ----- brain damage.

I just don't stick my nose right over it and take deep breath. Sometimes I blow on it if it's heading for my nose.

I have been soldering for 30 years and have been tested for lead several times and always the test was negative. I think the smoke from the resin and contaminants is more of a hazard. Ditto John, I just use a small fan. Probaly should have an extractor but never have.

Date: Sat, 17 Dec 2005 15:52:29 -0500 Fellow Techs, Most of us use 60/40 solder everyday on our repairs. How serious an issue is this "lead poisoning" issue pertaining to us techs in the tv repair business? What are some of you fellow techs/shops using to extact the solder fumes??
