Refer glassing - epoxy smoking! - 2011

 We put some more fiberglass tape in the corners but were stopped short by the epoxy getting hard. It was a chemical experiment in the works.  Debbie had mixed up a batch and we were slowly getting in some fiberglass tape. A couple small pieces then a couple big pieces. We were about to start another and Debbie started coughing and say the refer smelled. I put the drop light into the refer and it showed smoke coming from the refer. Debbie grabbed the  epoxy and we went out to the dock. The epoxy was smoking! It hardened up fast!  Now I remember what they said at the store about mixing the epoxy up in a small container. It reacts to itself and speeds the process way up. We need to mix the epoxy in a big container where it is spread out. That or use it much faster.
 We called it a night.
