Good idea looking up the safety data, but that one's for Solarez' woodworking finish. It shows this warning (not as bad as their UV fly tying resin):
"Hazard Statements
Causes serious eye irritation
Precautionary Statements
Wash face, hands and any exposed skin thoroughly after handling.
Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do.
Continue rinsing.
If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.
Hazards Not Otherwise (HNOC), Other Hazards
Polymerization may occur from excessive heat, contamination or exposure to direct sunlight.
Contact with skin may cause a cross-allergic reaction in persons already sensitized to acrylates."
Solarez fly tying resins have different (and worse) safety data. Here's the warning for the popular Ultra Thin Bone Dry:
"2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

I haven't had any skin reactions to Solarez Ultra Thin Bone Dry, but if it can damage skin, I worry what it might do to my respiratory system, since it has quite a smell. Remember that our smell receptors work by sensing contact by actual substances in the air. So I'm throwing it out now. Back to good old head cement for me!
