Watch out! Yeah, it's in the books, on the forum, everywhere you think to read about using epoxy. Do NOT, repeat, DO NOT leave epoxy in a tub for any length of time. I had finished laminating the clamping boards, put the tub down, started a fire for a BBQ, then noticed smoke coming from the tub. Seriously, it was smoking. And crackling! This was about 20 minutes after I stopped using it. So I filled it with water, but I think I've lost the tub - it melted.

Yeah, it will cook off quick if you do anything but quickly spread it out into a thin film. Screw the bar-b-q, you got a boat to build!

Hey JimW, I agree, but there comes a time in the evening to stop working and start eating... Cool
