I am 37, but have only worked with epoxy for the last 9 years. Thanks for the notes on total body exposure. I think you are very right and that we dont treat this chemical with enough respect. I am going to stock up on those disposable tyvek suits and put on "the mask" before opening the epoxy storage cabinet from now on. Earlier I have only used a mask when sanding epoxy or otherwise creating lots of dust. Ref:

Sorry to hear that you might have crossed the threshold and might have to stay away from epoxy! Please post some pictures of your trimaran with a few words on it. We all have dreams, and I dream about a 28 foot trimaran one day and what could be done with the right boat.
