Again, read the MSDS for sand which is a confirmed carcinogen with a health hazard rating of 3. It's all about perspective. You seem to be risk adverse, so maybe you should reconsider the use of insulation based bass traps.

Mike,
Thanks for the info, on that, I have read that as well before and I have already purchased the material for the traps so I am obviously moving forward.
However, I still reiterate my original question on the PVA mixture. Will it change the acoustical properties of the rockwool? Not as concerned about myself as I am my kid (next room over).
I know studies change as they have in the past, this is what is making me feel better about this, but at the same time is concerning. Just want to make it as safe an environment as I possibly can. As stated earlier a little spraying is no skin off my teeth and a small price to pay for a more peaceful mind.
All of the posts that I have read would not exist if I were the only one thinking about this. I also have read time and again that if left undisturbed that the rockwool poses no threat to airborn fibers, but when I play my kit in that small room sh*t falls off the shelves. So I feel that my question is valid and may be beneficial to someone else in my situation. thanks.
