Thanks all for your responses. I rolled on the epoxy, and tipped using foam brushes. I did the hull down to the sheer first, and then the deck. Very pleased with the final results.

My "workshop" is in my unheated basement, where temps can be an issue. Using a small radiant heater, I'm able to achieve ~65. For this application I used a fast hardener. I sure any hardener would've been fine, but felt it was a good choice for work where I moved quickly to lay down a thin coat.

Cheers,
Wesley
