Impossible to pull nitrile or latex gloves on sweaty hands.
When working with gloves on, your hands will stay damp.
(At least mine do)
Get a bottle of baby powder to put on your hands if you need to change gloves quickly.
You will tear a glove or you will get your gloves too goopey to continue and need to hot-swap. I buy tongue depressor sticks (the ones the dr uses) for mixing epoxy like $8 for 500.
Use a clean tongue depressor to flick off your first glove, otherwise you have to jam a goopey finger inside a glove to get a glove off.
I like an anti-freeze jug or gallon windshield washer fluid jug split open taped to the outside as a backer.
Vinegar will get uncured epoxy off your skin (or tools or whatever).
Get a big bottle of cheap white vinegar and plenty of paper towels.
Cheap nylon paint brushes 1" or 1.5" are great for wetting out cloth or painting epoxy on the old surface. Get the ones that look like you could actually paint with them at HF for 79 cents each. (You can't paint with them, but they look ok) Buy 8 or 10 of them.
Don't buy the beige chip brushes made from a hog's asshole hairs (or Chinese political prisoners) they suck.
I mix in the plastic lowball drinking cups, big bag from warehouse club.
You want to avoid anything with lots of internal ridges that impede mixing.
Solo cups are bad.
I save all my used mixing cups to check after a few hours to be sure the residue went off in the cup. Just so you never wonder if you lost count of the number of pumps of part B in batch #12 when you are pounding upwind for 6 hours in 25 kts.
Fiberglass is the idiot's friend. If you fuck it up you just grind it out and go again. You won't fuck it up though.
