Scott,
Does this include a cigarette hanging out of the corner of your mouth at the same time? Just kidding.
In a culture of "cover your behind" and as a manufacturer of this glue I should tell you to protect yourself all the time, no matter what, which of course is the safest approach.
In reality the answer is not so straight forward as different people are more and less chemically sensitive. I remember in high school, dipping my hands in jars of formaldehyde with preserved mice in them. Also, some people are fine for a long time and then finally build up a chemical sensitivity, so it makes a difference if your doing it twice a week for years and years. I'll make a wild stab at your 1 to 10 question and say about a 4. Higher if you do it every day. If you're using your respirator most of the time and forget it every once in a while the risk would be less.
Does this help?
Darryl
