Default Re: 62-Racer Transom Help

How about some nice thick steaks on the grill and ice cold beer in the cooler ... will that temp you to join in?
Really nice "clean" job you did on your transom.

We're working in an airport hanger with S. Fla temps in the 70's.
Briguy, Good idea on the disposable suits ... and pleny of gloves.
JohnB, lots of great tips here. I like the idea of hanging the glass on the transom & wetting as you work down. Hadn't thought about the ice bucket to keep the epoxy cool, another good idea.

The medium drying epoxy (3-1 ratio) is good up to 80 degree temp, takes about 2 hrs to become tacky & ready for the next layer (per US Composites, fortunately close by). If that be the case, then can I use the same roller for all 3 layers on the same day, (one mat, 2-1708) or should I have separate rollers for each layer?
So many helpful hints here, I really appreciate it. Thanks!
