Think I may have snorted too many fumes. Using this long weekend for part II of the fiberglassing/epoxying marathon. Last weekend glassed and epoxied one half of the bottom and poxied that side. This week and this Saturday sanded her all down with my home made long board. Today glassing and epoxying the other side.

Round about round 4 or 5 of poxy thought I had just laid out a beautiful light and smooth coat on a full half of the boat. Went back to the mixing area a noticed my syringe was full of hardner, had just applied a beautiful coat of resin with no hardener!

Too many fumes!

I sympathize with you, removing an epoxy mess could perhaps be my least favorite part of boatbuilding. Everybody seems to have one at some point.
