I could try that, but usually I'll put a fill coat on in the evening...

I really dont understand all the concern with runs. I just take a hard sanding block, with 80 grit dry paper, and it takes about an hour to knock them all off. Then the ROS with 120 to smooth it all for varnish.

: Don, keep a close eye on your epoxy as it sets. When it has started to kick,
: get in there with your sqeegee and knock those runs flat. They usually
: don't have time to reform before thr epoxy reaches the no sag stage. Saves
: lots of sanding later. Jerry
