Epoxy is not complicated...just wear a mask! And the wind will be a factor, not only during the lifting/standing of the structure, but also making sure it will be static and not moving during the drying period of the concrete
The wind in North Dakota is almost every day...
and when it is calm it most of the time means that a bigger storm is on the way the next day.
So the wind is going to be a issue for me to pick the right day to do things from now on.
Right now its Tuesday the 23rd of April, and its just after 8:00 in the morning, and as I look outside the window I can see the trees bending in the wind.
I hear its only going to get stronger in the afternoon.
But the epoxy is due to arrive via UPS this morning (with luck), and tomorrow they say the temps will hit near or above 70 with no chance of rain until Friday. (again with luck)
So I just got to try to make use of that warmer temperature and lack of rain by getting the epoxy on the first side finished.
The moment the epoxy arrives, I plan to make a decision to crack the epoxy kit open and start mixing or not.
If I do put the epoxy on today, then with the lack of rain in for forecast until Thursday night /Friday i would not have to cover the monolith in a tarp the first night.
I have this bad feeling that if I put epoxy on the monolith and then cover it up at night with a tarp that the tarp with get stuck to the monolith and Im back to sanding again...
we shall see how this goes....
