: I'm getting ready to glass my Night Heron in an uninsulated woodshop in VT,
: heated by a woodstove. I glassed a stitch and glue a couple of winters ago
: in another woodshop that was kept at 50 degrees. I used System 3 with the
: fast hardener, and didn't heat the boat up, so put the room temp. epoxy on
: a cold boat, and ended up doing a lot more sanding than necessary. This
: time around, I'll probably put a couple of electric cube heaters under the
: boat, and get the ambient temperature up with the woodstove-hopefully to
: around 60 degrees. The temperature will probably be a bit uneven-warmer
: near the stove, etc. Any suggestions for an epoxy/hardener combination
: that might fit the bill?

: Thanks,
: Ann

I just started glassing my Night Heron in an unheated basement, current temperature in the mid 50s - I did the seal coat yesterday and the first layer of fiberglass on the hull today. Both went on without a hitch and are (apparently) curing properly - the epoxy I put on this morning is just barely tacky this evening. I'm using MAS with SLOW hardener, a special mix prepared by Newfound Woodworks in New Hampshire.
