Do you have any problems using greenstuff?

No. I know of a plumber who has a problem with the epoxy putties used for patching leaks. I think he also reacts to Greenstuff. x42

Allergy or Chemical Sensitivity? I know it is a fine line but there are different ways to deal with each problem.

Only when it doesn't work out as planned, it causes uncontrolled cursing and gnashing of the teeth.

Original 'Greenstuff' was basically styrene in a solvent, one part in a tube, no mixing. There are new epoxies that have the A & B components coloured so the finished product is green in colour. Epoxies are noted for a cumulative effect that causes 'sensitivity' and dermatitis, and once it appears it will ALWAYS appear on further exposure. A number of sculptors have had to quit after developing this allergic reaction over the years.

Precisely what bsrlee describes but mild.
