Fellow- Ship-

WOW [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img] Your boat in FS Magazine that is the best compliment one could ever get. Every time I get down to FLA I always have a FS mag either by the time I get out of the airport or by the first rest area. The first article I go to is their Dreamboat. Congrats. How cool will that be on this site your boat will have a caption As featured in Florida Sportsman. I wonder if they will say in their mag, As featured on classicseacraft.com Hehehe [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

you guys are talking allot about humidity problems, soo how hard would it be to fair a boat, in south florida, in the summer, would it totally not work>??

Hello Ben-

It all depends on the product. Read the label and call the manufacturer. There are so many different compouns out there. Humidity was not the issue with my product, rather temp and my impatience

I know they sell different hardeners for different applications.

Right now my boat sits in a yard that is on the bay and less than a 1/2 mile to the ocean. When I get to the boat in the morning it is so wet that water begins to run and puddle out of the scuppers...not to mention the humidity normally in the air. I have not had any real problems with this as long as I do most of the epoxy work no later than early afternoon. I did do some epoxy work into the evening one night and the epoxy "blushed”, got wet from the overnight dew and left a mess for me in the morning, but was able to clean it up with acetone.

Granted its not the humidity of Fl in July August September...but it can get a little sticky.
