: Shaun,
: Mix up a small batch of epoxy spread it on a piece of wood and see what kind
: of odor it gives off. I have hot air heat and used MAS in my basement
: during the winter months and the smell in the basement and house was non
: existent. My wife never once mentioned smelling something. I don't know
: what the others brands are like.
: Bob

That would be great if it didn't smell, I might even be able to talk my parents into letting me fiberglass in the basement. Is that normal for epoxy not to smell? I have only done small fiberglass repair on sailboats, using a small container bought a hardware store, probably bondo, and it smells horribele... maybe polyester? But will epoxy based systems not really smell that bad?
