I remember from my days as an A&P mechanic that polyurethane paint (Imron) is a cumulative toxin. In other words, it gets in your system, but it can't get out. Management tried to tell us to keep working when the paint crew was working because we didn't do much painting at our facility, and they didn't want to lose work time. But we all decided to walk out on paint days anyway. I didn't see any reason to be exposed to polyurethane paint for a couple of hours a month. Even if the effect is minimal you may start to see a difference after a few years of that. How many guys reading this use CA glues occasionally but started reacting to it after a while?
In fact, the whole aircraft maintenance industry is full of nerve damaged mechanics. All of the old guys where I worked had shaky hands and bad skin. I don't have any data to cite, but I figured it had something to do with chlorothene, MEK, polyurethane, isopropanol, fumes from seat foam, degreasers, etc, etc, etc. I stay away from all of that crap. I also leave when somebody is smoking. A little bit is too much for me. But maybe I'm weird, because I don't eat junk food or even caffeine or aspirin either.
You can be totally clear of poison with a forced air mask, though. It's pretty cheap insurance.
