You can prabably scratch the surface enough with steel wool to get the next coat of epoxy to bond to the currently shiny spots -- but you don't want to. The fact that you have shiny spots means that the adjascent cloudy areas are still too high/deap. You want a strong light fiberglass boat, not a heavy brittle epoxy boat so sand until uniformly cloudy but not down to the glass itself.
