Dan,
Whenever I use selenium diluted 1:3 or 1:6, I end up feeling it in my chest.
I am going to start wearing a mask, as painters do, because I know inhaling it
doesn't do me any good.  I am always holding the trays and agitating them to
get the right "look" that I want, thus I am closer than I should be to the
chemicals.  If you get farther away there is probably no problem.  Maybe I am
oversensitive but I don't think you can be careful enough.
