[quote=Edchris177]Did you remember to buy a box of gloves? You can only use them once, as the epoxy you get on them tends to stay sticky for a long time. Easier to just rip them off & put new ones on each time you use a tube of epoxy.
I find the 3M Bondo kicks off pretty quick when mixed as recommended. The West slow hardener is much better for this type of job, it allows you working time, & will make sure that the product can flow into all the crannies.
Organization before you start mixing the first batch is key. Think through how exactly you are going to go about it. This way you can have bits of tape precut & stuck to the hull, pieces of cloth precut to size if needed, any required tool at hand, etc.
This is especially important when you go to fix the dagger well. You will immediately get resin on your gloves, this makes it a pain to suddenly discover you need another piece of cloth, & all that is left is a full sheet.
If you plan on making an album to document it, get someone else to standby with the camera, & direct them to take photos.[/quote]
