Has anybody used this epoxy? They claim it to be "non-toxic" but I wonder
if its non-allergenic.

"Very low odor and toxicity." leaves a lot of wiggle room. For
starters, I'd see if I could quanify the claim by comparing the info
on the MSDS to a product that doesn't make the same claim.

I believe you want yellow glue.

All epoxies are fairly toxic.

In general if you're alergic, stay away from all of them. ANd if you're not
alergic, take precautions so you stay that way: use gloves.
