Tips from Mr. Mancebo:
I like the ease of using fiberglass. But I have also heard horror stories of people becoming sensitized. Before working with epoxy, download the System three's book http://www.systemthree.com/reslibrary/literature/The_Epoxy_Book.pdf and actually read it.
1. Use Nitrile gloves and wear a double pair. Keep gloves that aren't trashed in bucket and use them as the outer pair.
2. I have a garage attached to the house and did not want to fumigate the rest of the family. Mr. Mancebo recommended System Three General Purpose Epoxy. Most nights I do wear a respirator, but on nights that I don't, the order is barely detectable.
3. Use chip brushes to apply epoxy and work the fiberglass tape. Cut the top third off the brush. I tried it both ways and cutting the tip significantly improved spreading the epoxy.
