: Rob,

: On my GP14 sailboat forum, there has been discussion of epoxy
: sensitivity, and I have heard that now they are building the
: GP14 out of epoxy, instead of vinylester resin and gel coat,
: that some people with epoxy sensitivity are having problems
: touching (sitting on?) their new epoxy boats.

: I wonder if that's a good reason to paint that tub with some form
: of varnish, or maybe Dura-Tuff polyurethane?

: Brian

Unless you're already sensitized to epoxy, the problem that causes you to become sensitized goes away once it's totally cured usually within about 30 days.
