My $00.02 worth, I do my work in the very early hrs. so as to take advantage of the cool temps. Rember anything above 75 is really hurting you. I vac. really good ahead of time,then tack rague it just before hand, another pair of hands works great.also where toss away gloves an change them offen, Epoxy is really bad stuff if it comes in contact with skin(liver cancer)Also youll need a fan blowing across so you don't breath the fumes.I cut every thing ahead of time, I lay the cloth right on the wood then use a squeegee to troul it out after a few passes youll get the hang of pulling it out as far as you can, also any high spots need to be delt with right off.You only want to fill the cloth , the wood will draw it in an youll think youll need more, no dont do it, several coats are better than one,Wet sand between using auto w&dry using warm water an a small amount of dish washing soap.then wash with clean water till the water stays clear(this is important because any film will seen on next coat. after the last coat say 3rd. sand same way then give it a few coats of spar varnish (i use ace)rember to stir this each time an also as you use. the hardener is clear an looking in the can you'll think its ok, but it wont harden. do everything from the keel down an to the rub rails, I get the hull up high enough soas i don't bend..good luck, i use 3to1 from a place in west palm fl. also mix small amounts of epoxy an really watch it an toss it as soon as it gets crumbs . Here are a few shots of my last 2 boat projects.
