Eric--

I'm not too sure about recorsinol glue for a stitch and glue boat. It's not gap filling and requires high clamping pressure.

I do remember the guys at MAS epoxy talking about their no blush slow cure hardener and how the same formulation that prevented blush (because the chemistry didn't react with the water in the air) also wouldn't react with the moisture in you skin which made it much less likely to cause an allergic reaction.
