I am considering a kit project, and most of them are using one of the "glued, ironed, doped' type systems for their covering. I'm looking at some of the manuals for these systems and am a bit put-off by the apparently toxic nature of the chemicals involved. The precautions advised by the manuals are alarming. I'm not sure I want to put a new toxin-load on this 65 year-old body.

For those of you with actual experience working with this systems,
Two questions:

Are these chemicals as toxic as the manuals make them appear?

Which system is supplied with the Airdrome kit for the Dream Classic?


Thanks in advance for any feedback.
