Is it the sweet smell or the fibers that wear through your skin where the tyvek splits on your lower back?

There are those that want to take our epoxy and grinders away. I say to them: "FROM MY DEAD FINGERS". Itchers and scratchers unite! We shall not be thread upon.

I thought epoxy did'nt itch only polyester itched.

But I know what you mean, there's nothing cuts like a new 16 grit disc, but I use an 80 for my toe nails.

Hi, my name is Tom and I'm a reformed epox/grind addict.

I've been clean now for four months.

Thanks for sharing and listening.

I love you guys, but I love the gals more.

-Tom

It's not the resin, it's the fiberglass. And pretty much only fiberglass, not kevlar, nylon, etc.

It might not be an addiction so much as a religion, the hair shirt of a Belief in Composites, a way of Mortification and Penance.
