Hi Scotty;

You know, it probably did look like a Flynn-Fairchild sword fight for the first 10 minutes! I bought standard 32oz mixing cups, and that's what we used. The epoxy was not in the cup long enough (trust me on this one 8-) to begin to "kick." In fact, it was at least 1/2 hour after we were finished and went back to the garage when the chemical reaction was really going - - Judging by the fumes being produced.

The Ding-All epoxy comes in only one formulation as far as I know - "Ultra-Clear." It is a Florida company that makes it, and it does seem to be pretty slow at our temps. My garage was at 81F and it was still workable when we deemed the hull finished 45 min after beginning. All in all, it was quite a rush!

Best Regards, Spidey
