HELP!
> Last fall I put my 6 oz fiberglass on my Wee Lassie II. Too bad I forgot
> to pay attention to the temperature. It must have dropped down into the
> 40's. First thing I noticed was that my epoxy went milky. So I scraped off
> as much epoxy as I could before it hardened.
> A few weeks later (I'm building at my parents place which is an hour
> away), I noticed that the surface had liquid droplets. They were epoxy.
> So that brings us up to today I pulled the boat out of the shop to sand
> off the milky spots. In the process I discovered how rampant the uncured
> epoxy is. For the most part its localized to about a 5 sq. ft. area with
> spots here and there. I spent the afternoon scraping the bad areas off.
> Sometimes the surface wood pulled up. Seems the bad epoxy has soaked into
> the surface of the wood.
> Since I've got milky spots on the canoe, I'm thinking of getting some 36
> grit disks for my orbital sander and removing all the fiberglass and
> epoxy. That means going back to square one. Any suggestions? If you think
> you can help, e-mail me and I will e-mail a few pictures to look at.
> Thanks
