Kind of late now but when I work with glass I wear a long sleeve shirt with out open/button cuffs. I usually go to Goodwill and by a few. Then I wrap the cuffs with masking tape then wear thin surgical type gloves that go over the cuffs. When I finish I throw everything out before I go in the house. After showering I have found that by applying baby oil to my skin it helps the glass fibers back out and not be so irritable. Unless you were previously sensitive to the epoxy I don't think you would have had time to become allergic to it so quickly. Bob

Hey, Bob. Well, easy to 'jump' on the epoxy/glass, but -- Gary, Santana 2023A, Milwaukee -- 5/23/08 7:41a.m.

Maybe?? -- Bob Frak -- 5/23/08 11:51a.m.

Also, your last picture suprised me. -- Gary, Santana 2023A, Milwaukee -- 5/22/08 7:20a.m.

What you see on the trunk is the rigit hard putty -- Seth Dabney, 2023-C, Oxford, MS -- 5/22/08 3:21p.m.

Ah, understood. -- Gary, Santana 2023A, Milwaukee -- 5/23/08 7:56a.m.

I was told on the main board to epoxy the screws in. -- Todd-2023C-SFBay -- 5/24/08 8:18p.m.

Awesome job -- Liv, CS22, Karma 22, Ottawa River -- 5/18/08 5:32a.m.

Liv, don't be offering my services out (unless it's a hot friend of yours) -- Gary, Santana 2023, Milwaukee -- 5/18/08 2:13p.m.

Are you going to glass the underside of the edge outs? -- Seth Dabney, 2023-C, Oxford, MS -- 5/18/08 12:34p.m.
