Kudzu Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 That is why I don't like working with it. I get it everywhere regardless how careful I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodman Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 What a mess I've made using epoxy! I think I even have epoxy on the ceiling!! Epoxy everywhere!! Me and epoxy should not be in the same room! I thought I was going to destroy the coaming trying to get the clamped un-stuck to the coaming! But I think I well recover. Epoxy has it's place and it aint on the ceiling "it is great stuff" Have gone through gallons of it...But tight bond 3 is good it sets up quicker also...

Kudzu Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 It's great stuff for sure! Sometime nothing is better. Some swear by it, I usually sweat at it. Between the price and mess I use Titebond unless I really need epoxy. It's all a matter of what you prefer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will get neater when you smear epoxy on your glasses. Don't ask me how I know. The good news is that epoxy won't stick to the lens. Comes off with just a gentle scratching with a fingernail. Working clean is the first epoxy skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P Doug (WA) Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 The coaming is getting there. This is with a coat of epoxy on it to fill is a couple minor gaps I ended up with. I rounded over the rim on this one as apposed to flat like I did on the first one. I glued each lap on the lip about 1/16" lower that the preceding one and then used my spokeshave and sand paper to smooth it down to a nice round. I like it better than my first one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
