http://www.mertons.com/sys3_02.htm, fifth paragraph down has information about their type of epoxy. I'd strongly recommend you contact the manufacturer of your particular epoxy or hunt down their website. "Blushing" can occur when epoxy cures in a high humidity or changing humidity environment.

: Dear Gentlemen,

: Hope somebody here is willing to help.

: In the middle constructing GLEN-L Vigilant, soon coming to the other stage of construction, FIBERGLASSING. As per instructions, clearly stated the ideal working temperatures range between 70 deg F and 85 deg F, plus-minus 5 deg F.

: The question is, what is the maximum Humidity Percentages (Water Vapor Contained in the atmosphere) allowable to proceed for FIBERGLASSING Process? The purpose of posting this question, at this moment, is that we are faced with the Tropical Monsoon Season in Malaysia up to February or early March. During rainy season the temperature is between 79 deg F to 89 deg F, BUT the Humidity meter shown 79.8 %.

: All opinions and comments are welcome.

: Thank you very much in advance from MALAYSIA, thank you

: HAJI
