Erebus, I taught myself how to do it. A lot of research and reading online. I have done quite a bit of it over the last 4-5 years. I couldn't afford to pay someone. I do work on other peoples boats also on the side. It just takes time to work all the air out and small rollers to get into the corners. Keeping the layers neat and working wet on wet helps with no getting air bubbles. I try to think things out and take my time to get it right the first time so I don't have to redo it. When I was first starting out I had to do a lot of things over.
As far as doing it at home. Being divorced makes it a lot easier. I wasn't working on boats when I was married so it wasn't an issue. I usually change outside anyways so I don't stink up the house.
