I have a bad Idea

I build most of my G17 in my basement but did the glass/epoxy work in my garage. As the weather here in Massachusetts turned cold I had some minor epoxy touch-ups to do.

Well, the last touch up would not cure so I set up a drop lamp with a hot reflector bulb close to the small spot and moved it 3 times to cure the whole area.

It wasn't until after that I had noticed the 4 dime sized black spots I has burned into the boat. Guess that is why I get paid to sit in an office and not to build boats.
