Dear Gary,

    In 1975 I worked for a jeweler who regularly bombed in a very small,
    poorly ventilated studio. It was after that time that I started
    developing health problems. Yes, bombing does strip gold beautifully,
    but this is a very toxic procedure. My advice is to farm this work
    out or work carefully in an extremely well ventilated studio AND wear
    an appropriate respirator. If you choose to do this work in your
    studio, never eat in there and scrub all surfaces carefully after
    working. Cherish your health above all else.
