And that mat sure sucks up a lot or resin! But is necessary with woven roving.

Jeez guys, I sure hope that you're wearing good respirators when your messing with fiberglass resin. There's almost no fresh air getting into the forepeak of the bow from the inside & those fumes can be lethal. That's why I would work from the ouside. At least there's actually some oxygen to breathe. Think about your long term health, which I hope is more important to you then your boat. I say this because my Dad was a chemical engineer who died at 68 & lived with cancer for almost 10 years before it took him 3 years ago. My father had 10 patents for polyester resins with Allied Chemical & loved his job, but it cost him his life. Be careful with what your exposing yourself to.

Use supplied air and epoxy - not polyester resin. Use all personal protection available of course!

Glad to see that pic with a respirator being worn. I did foolish things when I was younger when working on stuff & rebuilding old houses. I've been exposed to countless toxins. As I get older, I'm a lil more aware of my mortality.
