Okay, I'm moving right along with my 19' Atlantic and I will probably be 'glassing by March. I live in West Tennessee and I am building this outside. I have read and understand the effects of heat and cold on epoxy curing times, but what about the effects of humidity? The air gets very hot and "sticky" here in the south and paint takes forever to dry. Has anyone had any experience with epoxy cure times/strength after curing in hot humid climates? I am planning to 'glass in March so that the temperature will be around the 68-72 degree mark and the humidity hopefully won't be too bad, but weather can also be very unpredictable. Thanks for any help you may give. I would hate to get this far and screw the whole thing up. Also I don't understand how I will be able to take the deck off to 'glass the inside and not have the deck lose some of its shape. Is this a problem? It seems like it will curl up. I know "the book" says it's easy to fix, but in the humidity I'm afraid the effect might be even worse if I wait a day between 'glassing the outside and 'glassing the inside. The wood will absorb moisture on the exposed side and not on the 'glassed side. - Or am I worrying a whole lot about nothing?
