: Hi tom, I think MEK is going to break down and soften the epoxy a little.
: just a guess.

I am sure it is going to break down the epoxy a bit, MEK is nasty stuff. when i opened the can (with respirator on) I knew that I didn't want anything to do with it but tried it any way. The "blush" I think i am seeing could be softening caused by the MEK, but I don't think so. It seems to look exactly like the blush on other parts of the boat. I want to hit it with the scotchbrite and soap or ammonia because that worked well on the inside of the hull.

Thanks for the insight

Tom
