Getting Stoned on JB-Weld

What does odor have to do with it? Carbon monoxide has no odor but it certainly does something when you "sniff it".

Epoxy is not out gassing anything toxic or psychoactive. This is just an over abundance of caution on the part of Walmart's lawyers. It is "glue" so they don't want to take a chance that someone might sniff it.

Let's not be too quick to lay the blame on Walmart's lawyers. It could be their localized response to some idiotic local ordinance drafted and put on the books by high school dropouts "doing this for the kids"

Agreed. Unlike glues like model cement, which releases some sort of gas that will make a person light headed (or worse), epoxy does nothing. If I was to intentionally sniff it, I doubt anything would happen, or maybe it would irritate my sinuses at worst. Silicone caulk is probably worse. That stuff burns my eyes if I use it in a confined space. But again it wont cause any "high". I wonder if Walmart has an age restriction on Silicone too?

A few weeks ago, I bought some carb cleaner at Walmart, there was NO age resttiction on that, and that stuff probably could be used for sniffing, if someone was stupid enough to do it.

It seems Walmart's policies are based on ignorance, not fact. I know I'd be really pissed if I had a kid who was 17, and I sent him to Walmart to buy some JB-Weld, for a project we were doing for his 4H activities, and he was refused to buy it.

I know that. I was responding to the Paint Meister who seems to think that odorless substances "won't do anything" if sniffed. If that were true, we wouldn't need CO detectors.

The MSDS says Inhalation No known significant effects or critical hazards

Again, you seem to be missing the point of my response.

I was not referr "I doubt sniffing it would do anything, it dont have much of an odor"

That statement seems to imply that Paint believes that *any* substance without an odor won't have any effect on the sniffer. As I tried to point out, CO "dont (sic) have much an odor" but it would certainly do something if you sniffed it. Many substances that "dont (sic) have much an odor" should not not sniffed.

i.e. As a general statement, "odorless" does not mean "won't do anything".

Excuse me for trying to stay on topic. Carry on.

Thanks for staying on topic and posting the MSDS info. Feeding this groups "Derby" troll is optional, but best ignored!

I just had the same experience there! wth! And I wondered the same thing. I guess if there's a way, there's going to be some idiot to try it

Kinda ironic but it took you way more than 15 minutes just to rant about walmarts id policies over epoxy adhesives. So now add that to your 15 minutes. Ahhh the luxury of being a home owner huh?

thats what i want to know. why would a 18 year old girl have a tube of this in her room over half gone and i as her father hasnt used any in 3 yrs or so

I checked stores Walmart is the only one doing it..Try this guess JB is a brand of Bourbon Whisky someone inputted the wrong information about JB Weld.
