About time you got out of your little Ziploc baggy.

There is ONE good thing about a basement shop: it's easy enough to heat. In the middle of winter it barely drops below 60℉ (15.5℃ for the rest of the world) without supplemental heat. On Sunday when we in Northern NH had a day freezing rain I glassed the hull of the Frej. The wood stove kept the shop at a toasty 79 to 81℉ (about 26.5℃) all day. Finished the wet out by 1:00. First fill coat at 3:00. Second fill coat at 5:00. :)

Beyond that, with the dust (which usually rains down on your fresh coat of epoxy), noise and fumes having a shop in your basement sucks...
