Hi Folks,

Need some advice.

I have started sanding my coho in prep for varnishing. This was my first boat and it is full of drips and runs and the thickness of the epoxy varies from place to place. I am working for as flat a surface as I can get without cutting through the glass. However,... there are 4 spots where I have cut through to bare wood while working too hard on some drips. 3 are minor but one is about 8 inches long on a seam in the hull. It is about a foot away from the stern stem so should be a low stress area.

Question, what to do about the cut through spots. Epoxy saturate sand and move ahead with varnish or patch the spots with glass and try to blend it in?

Thanks in advance for the help

Mike
