No, the touble with epoxy it that it builds up in the system gradually. You probably better off with the high odor in order to make you where one. If you used penetrating epoxy you would be better off with a forced air system, the stuff is that bad. But that's not the suff your dealing with.

Get in the habit now, then you won't mind it so much when you sand, which by the way _requires_ a mask.

Just think of is as you PFD for building :) cheers and good luck.
