One 2 hp outboard that I use occasionally in the ocean is pollution??
You building that big boat in Wilmington and releasing all the
solvents from barrels and tons of resin and paint - now that's
pollution.

They have been banned with good reason.

You evidently do care about pollution.

Yes, we are building a boat in SoCal.

If you didn't have your head squarely where the moon doesn't shine, you
would know that laminating epoxy contains no VOCs.

SCAQMD made a visit ONCE.

Looked at what was being used and left within 5 minutes.

As far as "It's only little old me" argument, tell it to the judge.

So what did you clean up with - water? no MEK, no acetone?

So what did you paint it with - more bull****?

Soap & water for personal clean up.

Don't waste time trying to clean tools such as mixing containers, paint
rollers, brushes, etc

Don't even have acetone or MEK in the boat yard.

Once again, you have assumed the position.

Maybe he doesn't know that you can do a better job of cleaning up
special/expensive tools and such with vinegar?

Just curious, what do you consider special/expensive tools for working with
epoxy?

Lew,
There are really only two things that fit the catagory.
That would be rollers and fillet shapers.
As most of my rollers that get wet - the straight kind are used for bag
jobs only - are the radius kind, they are relatively expensive at
8-10$us. I can clean them in a couple of minutes.
The fillet shapers that I use most, I cut to radius from 1/8UHMW sheet
then either radius or thin the edge by hand for the specific
application. The harder edge for structural fillets of highly filled
mix and the more flexible for finish fillets with soft filler. As both
of these take 10-15 miutes to make (finish 4 corners of a 4 or 6 inch
square), and clean almost instantly. I figure it is worth doing -
partiularly as the soft fill is often too flexible to come off the
radius tool easily.
