Rehd,

I have spread three different kinds of epoxy for three different S&G boats in >100 degree F weather here in Phoenix without trouble. Seems like the stuff flows fine in the heat. I'm usually happy when a clear coat sets up fast so I can go on to the next step - like not having to wait more than a couple hours to scrape the lumps off. Wetting out glass is a little tougher when the 'poxy gels fast - but still doable with a satisfying combination of haste and patience.

I don't blame you for not wanting to work in the heat - especially if your heat comes with humidity - something I don't have to deal with this time of year. I definitely recommend a sweat band to keep it off the boat.

Glad to here you are started. I wish you would have cut my panels out. I never get that part right - but then I get to do quite some fiddling around to recover for the rest of the project. It's amazing that such ineptitude can result in a decent final product. Good enough for me anyway. A few minor built in defects make those scratches easier to take.

Well - I'm actually cooking tonight - best get after it.

I always enjoy your posts - be well.
