Thanks Brian. It's stories like yours that allow me to show my wife that things could be worse than me building my kayak in the basement 8*)

What little dealings I've had with the epoxy so far (gluing on an inlay and filling a few gaps) I haven't been able to detect much of a smell at all. (I'm using MAS also).

Question: Just because there isn't much smell doesn't mean it isn't harmful does it? Are todays "low odor" epoxies still just as toxic as the smelly stuff?

I've got a respirator but I must confess for the little batches I've been using so far I haven't used it.
