: I have developed a strange rash and am worried that I may be having an epoxy
: reaction. It's mainly on my torso but runs down my arms to my mid forearms
: and my legs to mid calves. Maybe 200 spots in all, give or take. Not
: itchy. The spots started out just red and some are now getting a sort of
: head on them, kind of like poison ivy. I first saw it yesterday morning.
: I've been working pretty intensively on the canoe this past week or so.
: Wet sanding and taping the seams.

: Anyone ever had this? Does it sound like epoxy or something else? I'm trying
: to decide if I need to get to the doctor.

Patsy,
Even with an epoxy reaction you need to see a doctor for medication. They can clear up the symptoms quickly and relatively cheaply. get to a doctor, right now.
See you on the water, Dave
