I was radiusing an EIR fretboard and out of the blue I found an allergy. I have never had trouble thicknesing the back and sides . The next morning I had little blisters on my fore-arms like prickly-heat and by the end of the day it was more like poison ivy. I am assuming that it is similar to poison ivy and treating it with allergy pills and sauve. After two days it seems to be leveling off.

I know this has been discussed before but I thought that a quick reminder might help someone else avoid this nasty problem. Wear long sleeves and don't wear shorts.
