Alexander Calder painted an airplane for Braniff Airlines. For an

And a damn good thing. Muratic is HCl, and sea water has plenty of
both H+ and Cl- ions. That acid will eat the concrete. The epoxy is
there to stay.

I remember that.
Looks like he was commissioned for more, but only did the models
before he died.

All I have to do to get a new wardrobe is to start some project
involving epoxy. No matter how careful I am, soon all of my pants
have epoxy on them. It's like, "I'll just touch up that tiny area
there, I wont' spill anything", WRONG. Right now, I do not any pants
other than a suit that arent epoxy stained.

Get a pair of overalls to keep in the shop/garage.
Good ones. Thick so oil can't easily penetrate.
Make sure they are loose and don't bind at the shoulders,
otherwise you won't wear them.
Make sure they have big legs too so you don't have to take your shoes
off to get in, otherwise you won't use them.
For most people anything less than XL is too small.
Roll up the legs if you have to.
Don't worry about how you look in them. Once in the habit you'll
never screw up your pants and shirts again.

and maybe a drop cloth?

Guess you'd need one with the "exotic" stuff Frogwatch uses.
Never messed with more than small epoxy stuff myself.
I always have a container of oil-dri for the garage, and plenty of
rags. No good for paint or stuff that dries hard though.
If I know I'll get a mess I put rags under the work.
Have a big rag container too.
I'm real big on rags since my Navy days.
I used to requisition them and recall they were one of most expensive
"consumables."
Think they were over a hundred bucks for an 80 lb bale, and that was
in the '60's. All cotton though. We didn't waste them.
Never had a painted concrete floor. They look nice, but so does
crushed oil-dri to me.
Only time I use a drop-cloth is for painting or tuckpointing a
chimney, but they are a handy option.
