Epoxy: nightmare

After setting up my S&G Osprey 13 for my first ever hull glass job i am suffering nightmares:

I feel sitting in an enormous airbubble with sticking epoxy walls all around covered by a heavy glass layup and beeing constantly squeezed by a squegee mooving back and forth - and no way to escape! Huh - scary!

(+) Do you know any psychologist beeing an expert for "glassingphobia"?
(+) What happens if my wife is not satisfied with the result? (It wil be her ship!)
(+) Shall i stop the project?

Probably most of you have suffered these kind of emotions before the first glass job.
So i'll go for it and look forward the result

Regards
Jörg, Austria

My first layup was scarey, too!
