In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The online application is easy to understand and takes less than an hour. Before you do it, you may want to take a gander at the FAQ section, the personal bios, and get a feel for the program, however. It's better to take a little time at the start than to waste an hour applying for something you're not actually interested in! If you don't want to fill out the application online, or have further questions, you can call their toll-free hotline at (1) 855-855-1961. This is easily done in 10 or 15 minutes, and is available immediately after you press the "submit" button of your online application. This is a comprehensive form that asks questions about your health history. It is important to fill this out to the best of your knowledge, since it affects which forms are sent to you during your full medical review. A quick look on the Peace Corps website will show you pages and pages of openings. You can specify by region and job category, too. The Peace Corps has six departments – you will get placed in one of the following areas:  Education Youth in Development Health Community Economic Development Agriculture Environment Concurrently with doing your medical kit you will also be contacted by your regional Peace Corps Office to confirm a date for your interview. This is to get a feel for which department you'd be good in and what countries would best suit you. The officer then suggests where he or she thinks is best for you to placed and files the paperwork for you. Don't stress about it. All of the recruiters are former volunteers and are very, very nice, so if you genuinely want to join the Peace Corps, having a one- to two-hour conversation about the possibility of going abroad and serving will be no problem. Your recruiter will nominate you for a program. Unfortunately, you don't get to know what it is. After this point your file and everything that you do will be through the National Peace Corps Office in Washington, D.C. It will take a long time to hear anything (around 6 months usually). But it will come! Once you get your nomination, contact your local office to accept. If you don’t like your assignment, you can reapply. However, you have to go through the process again and likely wait another 6 months. This is the only part of the process you’ll have to pay for, from the initial application to flying to your destination. After you are nominated, you will be sent an extremely comprehensive medical packet. Make an appointment with your doctor, multiple if you can. You will need multiple blood tests, a physical exam, pap test for females, and numerous other tests for males and applicants ages 50+. Make sure the entire packet is filled out and signed. If something is missed, your medical officer will request any additional needed documents, but this can further lengthen your application process, and even possibly push back your departure date.
Summary: Complete the application on the Peace Corps website. Complete the medical history form. Browse the website and listed openings. Get an interview with a placement officer. Receive and respond to your invitation. Get a medical clearance.

Problem: Article: Leave a little extra room on the fiberglass gives you a little wiggle room and helps ensure the hole is fully covered. These mesh patches provide an area to place epoxy across the hole of the plastic. Fiberglass patches can be purchased at hardware stores or online. Use a stirring stick to mix the even parts of the epoxy in a bucket or large mixing bowl. A two-part epoxy has a resin and an activator that need to be mixed together to cure. Once it is mixed, it should be very thick and tacky.  Wear disposable gloves when working with epoxy, since it may cause skin irritation. Lay cardboard or another disposable liner underneath the plastic, in case it drips through the mesh. Cover the entire area surrounding the hole with a layer of epoxy. Make sure the layers are even so that it dries evenly. It should be thick enough that the fiberglass can stick to it, but not overly thick. There should be enough epoxy so that the entire fiberglass patch sticks to the plastic. Use your hands to push the fiberglass the hole is in the middle of the patch. The excess fiberglass on each side ensures there is enough to cover the hole and will add a smooth transition between the plastic and epoxy. Fiberglass patches are flexible and should conform to the shape of the plastic you are mending. This time as you apply the epoxy, spread it over the part of the mesh that covers the hole. Use just enough epoxy to hide the mesh underneath, but not so much that it is clumpy. You want it to be as close to flush with the plastic as you can. Let the epoxy set on one side of the plastic before transporting the plastic or moving on. As it dries, it will harden and form a solid layer. It takes at least 24 hours for the epoxy to initially cure, though it may take longer in humid climates. Once one side of epoxy and fiberglass has set, apply epoxy to the other side of the plastic and adhere the fiberglass to it. Paint another layer of the epoxy over the fiberglass and let it cure for another 24 hours. This entire process can be done once more with more fiberglass pieces if you need to add more integrity to the plastic. Once both sides of the epoxy are set and dry, you can use sandpaper to smooth any dry epoxy, so it is level with the plastic. Wear a face mask as you sand the epoxy down so you don’t breath any dust particles. Epoxy can be painted afterward to match the color of the plastic.
Summary:
Cut two fiberglass patches 6 inches (15 cm) larger than the hole. Mix even amounts of each part of the epoxy in a bucket. Spread a thin layer of epoxy on one side of the hole with a putty knife. Press one of the fiberglass patches onto the epoxy, so that the hole is in the center. Paint another layer of the epoxy over the fiberglass. Let the epoxy dry for 24 hours. Repeat the process on the other side of the hole. Sand the epoxy until it is smooth.
