In Response To: Epoxy: Fiberglassing my kayak (Jack Hawkins)

: Hi:
: I am in the process of building a Night Heron in my basement
: workshop. My first thought was to take the finished hull &
: deck to my buddies shop 40 miles away. Big project and a lot of
: shop modification the get the boat in. I'm wondering if any of
: you fiberglassed your kayak in you basement, and if you are
: married, did you survive your wife's wrath?? My concern is fumes
: etc. I can close up the shop and there is a window which I can
: vent out.
: Thanks,

: Jack

Epoxy doesn't smell bad, no problem at all doing it in a basement shop, I've done it.

It's nothing like polyester, that would be awful.
