>>10978394>Is there any danger of harmful-sized particles being created from a pair of nippersNo. Resin is not some magical miasma-releasing substance. If you cut a piece of it with a knife or a nipper, you just get 2 pieces of it instead of 1.
If you grind or sand or pulverize it into tiny bits, they can get airborne and you can inhale them and then they can possibly stay in your lungs and do damage. But the same can happen if you pulverize metal or plastic or glass or stone. As a rule, don't breathe in dust of any kind and you'll be fine.
