Hi Kevin, The biggest risk to your wife is losing all contact with you for large blocks of time! Seriously, though, I don't know if there are any known respiratory health risks for curing room-temperature epoxies. Sanding, however, is not real great for your lungs, and varnish fumes may be risky to unborn "future paddlers". The booth isn't a bad idea once you get to the sanding and varnishing (or painting) stage, or you could do those tasks outside in the spring. Remember to wear a dust mask while you're sanding.
