It was.  Gmail does you the "favor" of tossing your duplicate
messages.  If you SET VANAGON ACK to listserv it will send you a
confirm message when yours is posted.

Re the epoxy - first, as Scott would tell you if he weren't having a
siesta, you have to say whether it's hardener or resin, and
preferably what brand.  Second, the right people to ask are the
manufacturer, though you might get lucky on the list.

If it's the resin - it's a sensitizer.  Anyone who works with epoxy
long enough will become allergic to it, so you want to put it off as
long as possible by good hygiene.  So you really have to clean it up
or toss the whole mess.

If it's hardener, I don't know anything about it and it may (likely
does) differ from mfr to mfr.

The W.E.S.T. epoxy people might be a good second choice to try to
talk to if you can't get to the actual mfr.

Yrs,
