Ask Slashdot: How To Safely Saw Up Motherboards?

Posted by timothy on from the letters-we-get-letters dept.

James-NSC writes "I like to do arts and crafts. I've been saving up motherboards for a while as a new medium and I started working on it last night. I wore the same gear I wear while painting – fine particulate respirator and safety goggles. I just cut some templates out of some motherboards and when I was done I used the shop-vac to clean myself & workspace up before removing my mask. Even after 5+ minutes, in a well ventilated area (not as well as it should have been apparently) my first breath was pins and needles. I'm looking into containment and exhaust solutions – ala baby's first iron lung, but seriously, am I nuts? Are these materials just too toxic to work with?"

    Only pain, unless it results in scar tissue and then only could cancer induce it's foothold.

    Cancer is when an invading fungus takes root in a region of the body that is more an acid substrate, either from scar tissue or heavy metal deposits or generally poor lifestyle.

    Fiberglass just embeds into the tissue and gives PAIN.
    Asbestos on the other hand is a bi-product of a fungus, which explains all the cancer that it caused; when a host substrate is acid then the viral attack function of any invading fungus can penetrate the cell walls of it's host where otherwise a alkaline host simply has a cellular structures in which the environment contributes to their non-ability to be infected by that virus of said fungus.
