That said, I
would still use it (if available), use gloves and put a fan
to blow the fumes away from me during assembly. But then, I do this kind
of stuff every day. My job. 
  If you expect to get a lot on you use at least 2
layers of the usual lab
gloves.  They dissolve in methylene chloride.  I commonly will use 3 layers
and change them often.  Then to I also end up using other much nastier
solvents at them same time.  1,1,1 trichlor.  will dissolve gloves in about
30 sec. and if not used in a good fume hood will give you a bad solvent
headache in a short time.  I can always tell how good each customers fume
hoods are when I use it.
