: I have a project in the basement right now. No worries with the
: wife...just no sanding allowed. The marine epoxy does not emit
: enough vapors to be a problem. Just make sure you can get the
: thing out of the basement once you are done the build. And DON'T
: get epoxy on the basement floor...that is a kind of wrath I have
: had to face and it ain't pretty, even if my wife is. That said,
: she still refusing to understand that the spots on on the floor
: will outlive the rest of the floor because the concrete is now
: nicely sealed. I now work with heavy plastic underneath any work
: I do in the basement.

Thank you everyone for your sound advice. I made a window vent using a bathroom vent fan; looks like it will work fine. Looking forward to the next phase - glassing.
