In Response To: Re: Epoxy: What about the basement (Scott Shurlow)

: My basement would work except for the fumes. I've never used epoxy
: so I don't know how many fumes there are. My basement is
: completely sealed (the vents are foamed over). Are the fumes
: going to be an issue if I do this in my basement?

I built several woodstrip and S&G kayaks in my basement back in the day.
Never had any epoxy fume issues , though it felt like I was serving a prison sentence in a dungeon.

Here's a couple of pic spanning more than a quarter century. So much for the good old days :)
