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

    When I go on vacation, there is always a little vial of grinding dust with me.

    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.

    I've been clean now for four months.

    Thanks for sharing and listening.

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

    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.
