The
: more builders I talk to, the more people I hear of who have had allergic
: reactions to either cedar or the epoxy.

I'm a first time boat builder, working on an OI, and I'm having a reaction to cedar.... I'm becoming addicted to it. I find myself walking out into the garage to take a few deep breaths, even when I'm not working on the boat. I'm loving that smell! That may not be so unusual, but my wife and two daughters are starting to do the same thing. Now the whole family is running out to the garage during TV commercials. That door is getting a real workout lately! :-)
