Happy St.Patrick's day to Nick and all the disciples out there.I have my shamrocks up and ready to take my annual dispensation from lent.There'll be a few hoisted this evening.My buddy from Costa Rica brought me up two bottles of Stoli from duty free($7a bottle!). It's raining in New York today which is quite fitting for the ultimate Irish celebration.I'm staying outta there. Amateur day.

I've been doing some research and I think I have put together the ultimate epoxy formula.Epoxy/Diluent/curing agent/U.V.FILTER. I'm going to do the first experiment this weekend so wish me luck.I'm working from sample quantities and measuring by weight.(from equivalent weights). This new epoxy has U.V. resistant qualities and I have also sourced an additive for U.V. protection.I want to see just how far it will go without varnish. This formula supposedly will not blush or chalk............let's see. JJ.
