Epoxy

[Mediocre]

So I have been using an epoxy called QuikSteel, and it smells amazingly horrible (which is an understatement) . I was wondering if there was one that didnt smell so damn bad. If so could you please post a pic of the case and where you got it I would greatly appreciate it. Im at work right now, but ill post a pic of the QuikSteel case when I get home. Oh and maybe a 1-10 scale of smell... 10 Being rotten festering garbage (aka QuikSteel epoxy) and 1 being chocolate chip cookies.

The reason behind this is that I live in an apartment, and when it rains I can do little to no casework. I'm sure this info would be helpful to others. Thanks again!

West system epoxy doesn't smell too bad. It's pretty expensive though.

Never, ever, solder for extend periods in an apartment. And NEVER, EVER use epoxy in a space like that. Even if it does not smell bad, the fumes are very toxic. Only work in an area with really good ventilation, or outside.

Or else, you get brain damage. Or a splitting headache (Personal experience).

I think he does it outside.

He is saying he cannot use the smelly stuff inside, so he wants non-smelly stuff so he CAN work inside.

Regardless of smell, the vapors are still toxic.

I do most of my casework outside, I set up my desk by a huge window, and have a fan blowing out the patio door I get plenty of circulation. However I'd like to do more inside by the patio door (I get a lot of nosy neighbors who stare when I work on my patio). But the stench of the epoxy I use would put my girl into a frenzy I don't want to deal with.

Apoxie Sculpt, (http://www.avesstudio.com/Products/Apox ... culpt.html) it rocks my socks!

Non toxic and comes in 10 colors plus it's cheap. It's just like working with clay that gets rock hard in like 3 hrs. You can sand and drill and tap it after it cures.

Anyway I've mentioned it here before because I love the stuff.

(edit: I love it but can't spell it right)
