What's mildly irritating you today?

Epoxy sets up faster and generates a lot of heat when it's all pooled together, when it's spread thin it takes longer. When I was glassing my canoe I put the scrapings into a quart plastic container, when it got to be about 3/4 full it suddenly set up and got too hot to hold. I dropped it and watched it foam up like mad and melt the plastic container to nothing. What a fucking mess.

Sucks to have to redo a job like that, Zip.
