I would have thought OP got professionally examined to see exactly what he's allergic to.
I don't think fiberglass and resin are on the menu for allergy testing ;). have you never had it done? They have a set of things that they test for, and it's mostly tree pollen and mold and things like that.
Anyway, it was irrelevant at the time. All that mattered was that I was allergic to something that had gotten in the van as a result of fiberglass repair, and I had to clean it out so that I could use the van.
I was present when the repair was done, so I knew that nothing was used other than a blow dryer, epoxy, and hand tools. No weird chemicals. I knew the allergen was particulate rather than a vapor, based on the way it transferred from item to item.
Sometimes it just makes sense to do your own detective work.
