Description: hiiiiiii you know what's cooler than these fins? S A F E T Y: Epoxy is a sensitizer and your body's reaction gets worse every time you touch it, and fiberglass particles in your lungs will ruin your life :) You'll notice in nearly all of the build footage, I'm wearing gloves to protect my hands from touching the epoxy, a respirator with fresh cartridges to protect my lungs, often safety glasses to protect my eyes, and headphones to protect my ears, as a treat. If you're building something like this, please help your future self out, and wear PPE(Personal Protective Equipment). It's worth spending extra money on good protective equipment, as no amount of money will get that fiberglass dust back out of your lungs. Want to know more about surface preparation?
