: Hello
: I have two more question about applying epoxy, do you do cooling temperature
: after you put the resin on or do you cool of after all is done including
: squiging?
: and another do you first apply the resin to the whole boat and then start
: squiging it or do you apply resin to small parts and do the squiging right
: the way and then continue putting resin to an another part?
: thank you

I'm sure everyone has their own technique, I apply the resin to the whole boat then squeegie it. But I'm using a very slow hardener so have alot of time (relative term). I do this in my garage so outside temperatures rule the shop temperatures. I try to apply the glass at the hottest part of the day, mid afternoon, then it naturally cools while the glass is setting up.

This is assuming I don't have a brain fart and do everything backwards, which happens on occasion :)
