Industrial lumber in NE mpls carries trupan. 1/2 and 3/4

Is this a specialty item that the big box stores don't carry?

My wife carves wood signs and stuff by hand and with rotary tools, she kicks out alot of dust. MDF seems to create pretty dangerous or harmful dust...is this Ultralight ldf a "safer" alternative?

Trupan contains little or no formaldehiede.I would still be careful about the fine dust.

What about mdf dust? As long as you have a respirator, there shouldn't be much danger, correct?

Thanks for the help!

Any fine dust is a killer-literally!
We need to remove as much dust as possible,from the source.I use dust collection 1st and good respirator when necessary, a flimsy paper mask will not do.

It's the fine dust that gets into our lungs and causes real damage.We need to be careful so we can
'keep on Botting'
