Homebrew PCBs

I recall visiting a Fluke Facility back then and they had a positive
pressure work environment. They had hoods with suction over anything that
produced fumes or dust. So their workers did not have to wear a respirator.
Which becomes difficult if you have to wear it in high heat or for a long
period of time and increased the cost of doing business. Surgical face
masks where worn in some areas though.

And it is very true that OSHA really only got involved when an on the job
accident occurred then or there was some kind of complaint. In our lab we
had all kinds of solvents and other chemicals. Most in either plastic or
glass containers. We wore gloves when we worked with them and used fans to
blow fumes away. If it was really nasty stuff we used respirators. Today
OSHA would have a heart attack.

Oh, and I think that was Oshkosh...

If you ask me if it can be done. The answer is YES, it can always be done.
The correct questions however are... What will it cost, and how long will
it take?
