Re: Cold climate epoxy users please HELP!

Yes, lots and lots of white vinegar and acetone and a good scraper.....ask me how I know...
Obviously this is not your fault since the supplier messed up. You should ask when they're coming over to help wipe it all off :D

Re: House build

Out of curiosity did the lumber get dried at all? I watch a lot of off-grid youtube channels, always fun to watch. 8/12 pitch is the steepest I'm willing to get on anymore.
