I know I can smell system three resin and west system G-Flex when they are being mixed or curing.

I have both here now and can smell them from 6' away when making small 1 foot repairs. I had stopped noticing the smell when I was building a small rowboat. After the strong smell of polyester that I could smell 500' away, epoxy seemed to have "no smell" in comparison.

Tunnels, your sinus passages are so damaged by styrene and keytone products that you can't smell anything, come on now. You haven't smelled anything for years, who you kidding . . . Epoxy does have a smell, but it's slight and not especially offensive, though possably to a poly guy . . .

Nurb, you'll never stop noticing the smell of polyester or vinylester, though you can easily ignore epoxy.
