For all those working in or thinking about working in plastic tents: MAKE SURE YOU STILL HAVE PROPER VENTILATION!

Keep the tent closed tight during pre-heating and curing cycles but make sure you guys have enough fresh air when anyone is working inside these things. You're working in a confined space with limited fresh air with chemicals that off-gas (yes even epoxy). That is a sure-fire recipe for asphyxiation. Sure as hell don't spray anything.

We tell our kids not to still their heads in plastic bags. This isn't much different.
