I've heard about the allergic reactions to epoxy in general, but I've never seen it and haven't figured out the difference between it and when I get "itchy".  I understand it can be a "build-up" thing.  IOW, I may be fine now, and have more and more trouble later on.  Right now, I get it even getting up in the attic with the pink fiberglass insulation.  Once I take a good shower its gone.  Is the "allergic" reaction something obviously different?  Is it a chemical contact while the epoxy is still liquid or can I get sensativity to even the cutting and sanding dust?  That's a lot harder to avoid since its everywhere?
 
Ductile - There wording is "cures as the most flexible laminate."
 
I'd be interested to hear what you come up with, with the new paint.  I wouldn't have thought about house paint.  But for MLM, I'll try anything.  The house paints sticks to fiberglass?  I might could get a Oop's gallon for $5.  :)

A friend of mine is building his Wood's Cat with that stuff, and I believe he had terrible allergic reactions to it. I wouldn't worry too much since it is highly personal what causes reactions and the solution, careful work habits, is the same for any brand, just mentioning it.

Ductile when cured? I wouldn't want that, though doubtless fine and dandy for your current project.

Thanks for the info on paint. I an interested in some new Behr paint. I have used their Super white, interior exterior latex with considerable success. They have a new paint that has some nanotech angle to it, and is supposed to be much more durable, but it isn't rated exterior. I need to talk with their paint techs and sort out why. Could be it isn't as elastic, and they fear film failure for that reason, which would not be a concern with sheathed wood. Or maybe it dissolves in water. :) I think there is a good chance it might be superior, but I haven't got any info from someone who has used it.
