Consequent of my sticking my arm into fresh epoxy (I did have a long sleeve shirt on but it soaked through) and the comment to my earlier post, I'm posting a couple of safety links. One by Sam Devlin, a Pacific Northwest boatbuilder and one from the manufacturer of the epoxy I'm using, SystemThree.

http://www.systemthree.com/index_2.asp - you will need to become a member (free) to access their Epoxy Book which has a lot of great information and this is great epoxy.

I've used it for twenty years and it has never failed me. One of the toughest project, where I used SystemThree, was the pictured ultra thin/light weight outrigger paddle I built. The reinforcing on the blade is a scrap of cloth my wife found while trekking in Mali.
