MIXING RESIN - I have been working with epoxy resins for 20 years. If there ever was a place to be clean and keep the stuff off your skin, this is it. I've met former boatbuilders who can't even go into a shop where epoxy is being used. They have immediate sensitivity reactions. It has made it hard for them to continue staying in that livelihood. I have a tendency to want to scratch my nose and forehead while working - a problem, not to mention a slowly building torture if you can't scratch that itch. Pretty soon I has sapped your concentration. Now what I do is coat the exposed skin on my face with barrier cream. I still scratch my face but with a paper towel. Atleast now with the barrier cream and the towel, I'm not getting any residual epoxy from my gloves onto my face.

Hey Thomas, I tried to post a comment but it did not work. This is a test!

Me again, it worked.
Yes, you have to watch the epoxy. I know a boat builder here who cant get close to the stuff any more.
I got my catemaran on the trailer today - works well (I will send a picture). I also attached the rudders. Now I just have to make a mount for the 2 hp motor I borrowed and make a sail. Next weekend high tide will be at 2 pm and it is extra high - 13.6 metres so that is when I launch it.
