In Response To: Re: Epoxy: What about the basement (les cheeseman)

: The answer is YES!!!! Don't even think about using epoxy in a
: totaly unventilated
: area. Even an organic respirator is going to be of no use as the
: epoxy vapours
: steadily dislace the oxygen. As organic vapours tend to be more
: dense than air,
: your basement will effectively become a tank full of toxic fluid.
: NOT NICE!!!

I thought that the OP was talking about doing the tips of a Greenland Paddle.......maybe an oz of epoxy resin.....could probably be done in the living room without even noticing any fumes. Use MAS (very low in fumes)

Best Wishes
