As promised, pictures of the progress so far:

Now time for a little advice.

1. When your hands are covered with resin, from 'glassing, and a friend stops by, don't offer said friend a beer, and hold one in your own hand for a while, until the resin cures to your hand, and the bottle. I must have used a quart of acetone trying to remove the bottle from my hand while my buddy was rolling on the lawn laughing himself to tears.

2. As the resin drips and sets on your workbench, make sure your tools, your root beer, your cigarettes and your cell phone are NOT on the workbench.

3. When you have a half empty bottle of root beer on your workbench, look inside before taking a swig. Wasps really hurt when they sting the inside of your lip. The emergency room personell aren't particularly amused when they are treating you for anaphylactic shock due to severe allergies, and your somewhat wet resin all over your clothes is sticking to their gurney and paper shirts.
