There is an article regarding Isocyanate on Wikipedia, it's not Cyanide but it's still harmful to a certain extend.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isocyanate

If I remember right, though, the Isocyanate forms a chemical bond with other ingredients in the formation of resin, so I believe its toxicity is nullified in the process just in case people start wondering if it's harmful to handle dollfies. Handing "raw" isocyanate is still harmful, though.

This chapter is about using "raw" isocyantes; so yes, they are toxic. Thank you! :)

this is random [ as I havent actually molded anything yet! XD ] but I'm a sculpture student, and have used something called Aqua Resin to re-enforce certain things and it is exactly like most resins but TOTALLY safe and water based, you can get it on your skin, breathe around it ect. It comes out very light weight yet supposedly? you can toss cured aqua resin out a 2 story window and it would be undamaged [ I've never tried]. The only draw back is its expensive. Like really expensive, I dont quite remember since its been a while. It's def,. something to look into though. Also the good news is that the reason is it's so expensive is because it's relatively new and is only made by one company right now, but that will probably change as it phases out all other resins.

I don't know anything about "Aqua-Resin", but it isn't being used for BJDs currently. Thanks for your comment!
