holy batcrap and hot sauce i had forgotten how bad polyester smells since i had not used any in a while . funny how the second you pop the can it comes back to you . it's crazy that i love corvette work but hate the smell of polyester . maybe that's why i went epoxy only ..............
 
Shine it's kind of like moving back to a farm, just keep sniffing you'll get used to it again:).
 
I always appreciate the thick film on the bottom of my shoes after spraying an entire car with it.
 
i've worked with polyester for so many years i just got to where i hated the smell . and i have a pair of sneakers for the booth .
 
I sprayed slicksand a few weeks ago & the garage still smells, even the insides of my vehicles smell lol..

My shoes will feel like ice skates the next day after shooting poly.
 
use to shoot molds in the 70's . had a friend who worked at a hospital who hooked me up with them . otherwise you had some nasty boots .
 
I was down in Kentucky at the truck plant a few weeks ago working and one of the guys took me over to the paint shop. The machine repair guys had shoes lined up on the side of the booths that they put on specifically for going into the painting areas.. These shoes looked like they weighed 50lbs each with the amount of sealer and paint that was stuck to them. As i walked through the booth I felt like my shoes were going to pull from my feet.
 
i have shoes for tape and bed work , boots for blasting , boots for wet weather and some tennis shoes for the booth . the booties work really well but will get to the point they pull off .
 
New guy here reading this older thread. I sprayed evercoat g-2 outside in the yard at work one evening. The next morning, the inside of the office smelled so bad (to normal people), it had to be aired out all morning. Guess the ac system drew it in.
This type of product really does seem to add a lot of quality particularly to a put back together & customized fiberglass part. Love it's non shrinking characteristics & self guide coat texture.. Thought about using some on some of my steel body parts I'll be repairing and customizing ​on soon, which will be my first time using SPI products. BUT, I think I'll reserve it for the glass hood & under hood cover.
Might even find a spot in the country & spray using the generator & compressor on the work truck.. Hmmmmm???
