He was concerned about groceries in the box, but the only thing I
have in the one in the garage is beer.... It doesn't look like it

affected
the resin at all.



Have a couple beers and I bet it will affect the resin (and the rest of

the
job) :-)



Temps are also a little high here in North Carolina lately. I'm about
done welding. Just gotta be sure to clean the sweat off the steel, then
add a little oil. But what will sweat do to a layup?

instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."


What my book says is to keep the glass cloth covered, and clean as possible.
The site needs to be preped, by ruff sanding 80 grit, and cleaned with
acetone before the cloth and resin goes on. You don't want oil where you put
glass, on metal you have welded you may want to put zinc primer. Mine has
blood sweat and tears all over. OH, which reminds me sand the joint after it
has cured to keep the blood at a minimum, the soft white cloth glass ain't
soft anymore. The gloves are a good idea to keep the resin off your hands,
baby powder helps get them on.
