If you are an epoxy (West Systems) expert and can spare a minute and a phone call pls call. 7:20 PM CDT. I'm at the boat and the stuff is smoking. Too hot to touch the deck that it is under. Got the fire extin. out just in case.

OK, Put luck assignments...
Anybody else read about Maverick (an E39) in Latitude 38
