Use
a respirator like this one. The 3M half face
respirator is available at Home Depot and many
hardware stores, you can get the mask with
cartridges for around $30. There are other brands that will work
fine, just make sure you get
organic vapor
cartridges for them.
Go to
www.fiberlay.com. On the top of the
page click "How To's", and download and print
out "Fiberglass-Epoxy Basic Training" . This
is a great basic primer in working with resin.
Fiberlay has almost
any resin supply you might need, and also some great instructional material on
their web site.
"Fiberglass-Epoxy Basic Training" in their "How To's" section is a
necessity. Located on East Marginal Way just south of where the viaduct
rises.
TAP Plastics
has Eastside and south Lake Union locations. I
haven't used many of their products, but they have
it all and I'm sure they're just fine. They have
a nice selection of smallish plastic molds.

Joni West works with
epoxy, but the same ideas apply to resin too. She even has a
TAP Plastics page featuring her work
here.
