Yeah -_- if any of the alternatives had been as low VOC as Odie's I probably would have used them instead... But in this case, since it was indoor with kids I didn't really want something fumey.

Gotcha, good to know! Id worry about the epoxy adhering, but good to know it works.
Agree. The number of people I know who "don't" cook blows my mind. 75% of my repertoire takes less than 30 minutes of involvement to cook. It's cheaper, healthier, and a great zen thing that's totally different from my day job.
For those trying to get started, do a meal kit that involves cooking, and start there. Not having to buy ingredients or plan things out makes it less intimidating.
How do you combo it with epoxy? I'm curious.
Tilley FTW.
I live in the desert, they are common even if unfashionable lol.
This.
I live in NM, so there are wild Neomexicanus hops (the Amalia and Multihead are that variety) but they are all up in the mountains. In the city, there are not really any male plants around.
Only issue is local nurseries sell ornamental hops that might be male... But thankfully my neighbors hopyard is all female varieties for home brewing.
Hot and dry lol. They have to be irrigated.
That's part 2 of this project. We will see, the hand rails are not in great shape. May replace, or paint them. The banisters have more visual impact anyway, and are a significantly nicer wood.
No idea. Hand rial is the next project. Either going to sand down finish to match, replace with something new, or paint. Undecided.
We've been dealing with the smell of citristrip this weekend lol, we can deal with the poly smells. Our house uses evap cooling which provides a ton of options for ducting air away from where the people are.
Wish that was an option, but whatever dingaling installed this stuff put all kinds of caulk on the bottom edge and then nailed it in...
Somebody committed a series crime against wood with this lol. Just trying to come up with something reasonable.
Why would you go with a stain+poly vs a finishing oil of some sort?
I wish these strikes would normalize talking about your salary in the US.
It's such a huge source of power employers have over workers heads. People always say "research what equivalent roles get when negotiating" but the data that's out there is crap. Companies work hard to obfuscate what they pay people.
