So I run up to PepBoys and buy some simple fiberglass resin hardner....16 bux for a quart...just to pour into some cut open cracks in the body and to soak into some what appear to be surface stress cracks.....

so I mix the shit up, Bondo product....and then apply, 4 hours later, still tacky...I think, ok, hell with it, check the car this morning....STILL tacky...hardly cured a bit....I don't give a damn if it's frucking ZERO outside, that shit should cure overnight....45F this AM early....

so I go return the unused crap, get another can from Home Despot and this time a can of MEK....quart if 8.97 talk about HIGH....to boot it don't even smell as strong as MEK USED TO.....so anyway, I mix up the new can...and so far the test tablespoon got hard, like jello fairly quick....so I stuck the second batch on the car....

We will see......thing is, not the hardener OR the can really smell all that strongly like MEK....somthing WAY in hell thinned out version...1/2 water.....

SO, in the checkout line I"m talking friendly with the cashier who I know at HD about my troubles, and the accompanying PIA.....the guy behind me....hearing a chemical/EPA type issue.....

HE OPENS UP.....seems the Challenger Disaster what we loose 5-7? astronauts...on account of them TILES came off when they never were a problem before????

EPA got into there, and forced another adhesive on them.....


:tomato::surrender:

EVERYTHING that damn agency touches, turns to shit....
