In Response To: Light spot on glass (David)

: I applied the glass to the deck of my Arctic Tern last night and all went
: well except that the epoxy set a little quicker than I would have liked.
: As a result, when I squeegeed one area, I found that the epoxy was gelling
: and got a little milky when I went over it with the sqeegee. I stopped and
: found that this spot was still a little light this morning. It's about
: 3" in diameter. I'm wondering if I should just go ahead and apply a
: fill coat, or lightly sand first. Has anyone had experience with this
: problem, and if so, what works?

David... sounds like you're stuck with it, now's the time to make lemonade. Haven't you been wondering about the rice paper design under varnish that has been discussed in the past? Now's the time to put your favorite design over the spot when you get to the varnish stage. Under the varnish only, you can change it at your whim, with a bit of thinner. TNX, Scotty
