As it turns out, going to church in the morning was not enough good karma to appease the epoxy demons. The bow pour started off pretty well. The first few cups of glue went in with no apparent leak. Given that promising sign, we began the stern pour. Almost immediately the stern dam developed a leak and we were well on our way to a repeat performance. We sopped up the glue like it was so much water on the floor with rags and such until the leakage began to slow. The varying colored modeling clay that we had used to seal the dam was now beginning to melt. This, a result of the heat generated by the epoxy, was transforming an ordinary stern into a Jackson Pollock painting.

A mask was donned to try to prevent further brain damage but it may be too late already.
