I think I just made a serious error in judgement

Getting blue and red rope cut for a knot tying exercise with a dozen girls scouts tomorrow.
Cut a bunch of three foot lengths of poly braid and hit the ends with a hot knife to keep them from fraying.

Unfortunately, I was doing this in my basement with minimal ventilation.

Appears from a quick Google search, I haven't killed myself. And wasn't burning. Was welding the ends with an occasional wisp of smoke.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, go outside. Even if it's cold and snowing.

My 2cents.

I feel unwell.

    Is this Chinese rope? O boy
    Although always described as a cowboy, Roswellnative generally acts as a righter of wrongs or bodyguard of some sort, where he excels thanks to his resourcefulness and incredible gun prowesses.

    If you survive your boo boo you have a chance to show those girls something they can use for life. Tell them that you can show them how to tie knots most boys can't.

    Good on you.[^]

    In my parts, Red or Blue anything on your persons could result in random gunfire by gangs.
