One thing I've noticed is that certain epoxies are slightly paramagnetic.
When these epoxies are cured in a magnetic field, their strength develops a
"grain". When I do fiberglass work on my Potter and let it cure should I
align it so the bow points north or should I orient it so the bow points
west (toward international marine)? Is it beneficial in normal trailer
storage to keep it pointed towards IM?
