: Clay, I've worked with several epoxy systems and found that the fumage and
: smells vary a bit from one to another. Some are pleasant and I think some
: are somewhat less than tolerable. Whatever epoxy you get, it'll at least
: become cloying after a while but possibly aggravating. Epoxies aren't as
: volatile as products with solvents though. It'll work out fine if you
: close off air flow between basement and house.

: I'm building mine in my living room and ventilation hasn't been a problem. I
: do know someone that built her boat in her living room and she had a lot
: of irritation and other issues from exposure to the epoxy. It's really
: easy to adhere to the safety precautions and be safe with epoxy.

Building in the basement is better, then you're not always breathing the fumes, not a good thing.
