Oh man, I feel this. My group tried to get through 'Moby Dick' last year because someone said it was a classic we had to do. I mean, it was a total brick. Meetings just turned into people apologizing for being on page 50, like, three weeks in. We dropped it after two months and the vibe was off until we read a thriller.

Makes sense to pick the tool you'll use most right now.

Honestly, that part about the activator not kicking off the cure is so true. It's not just about being slow, it can mess up the whole chemical chain. The hardener needs a certain temp to actually link up with the resin right. If it's too cold, you get this weak, half-finished network that feels dry but has no strength. It'll chip or scratch way too easy later. I won't even touch a spray gun now unless the material and the air are both a solid 70 degrees.
