I was sick as a dog. I had to evacuate my studio during the firing, it
damaged my lungs, ruined my kiln shelves. I was sick with respiratory
problems for three months, had to go on oxygen. Yep. you guessed
it...acrylic paint. When it burns it converts to deadly PCP or PBB's.
Don't do it!

posted. Hope you are feeling better now! What an awful way to discover this
lethal problem.
