I was going to use Rio’s “Extra hands” Paste today to protect some stones while soldering. After reading the caution though, I decided not too. I’m left wondering how safe this stuff is. I don’t have a ventilation system,… I do leave the side door open to the outside and when I remember, crack the garage door open to get a bit of circulation. Has anyone used this and what are your thoughts on safety with it? THANKS in advance for your input!

Thank you for the response. When soldering with it, do I need to wear a mask?
