Blue Heron-
Thanks for the insight. I did a few layers of unwaxed, but made a mess of some biax- it stretched/ relaxed in the resin longer than I wanted and made a mess of the compound corners where the stringers and bulkhead meet. So I chickened out and finished with a waxed layer. It is a bear reaching in there from topsides thru a 10x13" opening. I will grind a bit tomorrow and apply small patches/tabs with more waxed resin and call it good. If I feel daring, I will properly skin the bulkhead too. It is mostly resin soaked now. But at least I have some 1708 over the old thru hole/for a raw water intake patch that was filled with mat.
I used a new respirator, and it worked well, but the styrene stings my eyes when I have my head in there. I found out that unwaxed resin is nice in that you can wash it out of your hair with acetone.
