Ernest,
Laying it on with a lambs wool roller is super fast and very even, a one
person job. It goes without saying that you use the cheapest roller you can
get. We often have specials of rollers, handles and trays for $4.00 -I can
only assume you have similar products up there.
I use the same roller and paper hand towel (commercial stuff), to pull off
excess - as I roll it with the roller. It has the added advantage off
removing any/all bubbles.

Thank you, Steve. You're on my list of people to call now.
I've been doing the mix, just like you showed me. Saturday, a week ago,
I was getting my two boys all trained up in how to do layups. The goal
was to have help with these large pieces. Everything was going as well
as could be expected, until around 11:00 when it started warming up. It
started getting hard faster than I could get the epoxy on. Could very
well have been my technique, but I don't think I could have worked with
just fast hardener.
However as Joe suggested, Wicks is coming through. The nice lady said
they are expecting a new shipment "any day now". I've cancelled the ACS
order and, I'll be ordering from Wick's.
