still suffering from the
notorious epoxy mix ratio incident from a couple of months ago.
Recall that I was glassing the interior at the time, but mindlessly
mixed a big batch of goo at the wrong ratio while coating the sole.
Small things can trip you up with epoxy. I tried one time but had a five to
one pump in the can instead of the three to one pump. Also I glassed my latest
boat out here in the desert and worked only in the cool of the mornings.
Then as the day warmed up (from 70 something to over 100) I saw all my glass
come up in many big blisters as the air under the glass heated and expanded. Now
with the heat gun to pull off that ruined cloth to correct that error. Will
re-glass in the cool of the evening from now on.
