I never worried about adhesive fumes until a homeowner got sick

Their reaction made me rethink using strong adhesives in enclosed spaces. I've switched to low-VOC options even if they take longer to dry.

Man, that story hits close to home. I had a similar wake up call last year working in a tiny laundry room, the smell from that adhesive just hung in the air for hours. It really spooked me, thinking what that might be doing to someone living there. Now I always reach for the low VOC stuff even though it tests my patience waiting for it to set. Totally worth the trade off for peace of mind.

Yeah, that "homeowner got sick" part would make anyone pause. Smart move switching it up, even if it slows things down a bit.
