    Oh and change the damn gloves man.

    I usually stock 2 or 3 levels of gloves, a 2 or 3 mil for handling stuff momentarily, a 6 or 7 for normal work, and a 9 mil for jobs that kill gloves (more expensive as you go up level from about 10 cents each to about 40 cents each). A normal 30 minute batch I change gloves 2 to 3 times. Don't be cheap about it, buy them a few boxes at a time.

    Both of these are excellent brands.

    Tyvec suits. If you find them uncomfortable and expensive go to the goodwill store and search for light goretex jackets and pants. Only change them when they are to stiff from all the cured epoxy. For really messy jobs get a rubber apron with sleeves.
