An Epoxy tip... use vinegar for cleanup.

I've completed my cedar stipper and offer this tip. Before resin cures vinegar will clean your hands and tools. This is safer on your hands than acetone and costs lesss. Also not flamable. My current idea for a project is a solo canoe or kayak that I can construct rapidly and get me on the water... probably 9 feet long, frame and canvas then fiberglass, if you have a plan let me know... otherwise I'll go it alone and see what I get. If I could stitch and glue from 2 sheets of 8' Luan I might try that as well. Jim
