Using the multi-vis rule is a good way to have working time control during the various size lay-ups. I used to have 50-55 and 70-35 mixed up in different containers. You will start with small lay-ups, so you will be able to experiment with working time. The warmer the epoxy the better. 100F degree+. 100 Celsius MIGHT exotherm a tad! MGS is negatively affected in TG when all slow is used, or so I was told. As far as the scale goes, it is a better way to control your ratio's, but slower. I used a digital gem scale and had misc. weights posted on the wall. For large lay-ups I would pre measure what I needed of the epoxy in 100g cups, then when I needed the next batch, would weigh in the hardener. Also, if you use the scales, people would always ask..........well, you know. Forget trying to keep them clean, it ain't gonna happen, least not for me. A 4' table is nice for multiple project pieces (and getting epoxy on your shirt). Mine was made in two pieces so I could have 2 6' tables that screwed together into one 13 footer. I had the advantage of a laser to level things, so if your neighbor is a contractor, grab his, or hers.......with this economy, I am sure it is available. Good luck, and let me know if any of your buddies want to buy a project.

I have a set of plans, tub, spar, and canard if you want to make me a reasonable offer. Could transport these to you in an enclosed trailer. I live in VT next to Hartness State Airport (VSF).
