Darn... Building my Pygmy Arctic Tern has been going pretty well until last night. While sanding the excess epoxy/wood flour on the deck joints, I sanded through the outer layer of veneer on one of the joints. The middle layer of the three-layer mahogany plywood is CLOSE to the same color as the outer layer, but it looks like there is a very dark glue between the layers. This creates a really noticable line where I've sanded through. It's not a BIG deal (the area is on the stern end of the deck and is about an inch and a half long... maybe 1/4 inch wide - with a 16th inch dark glue line and 3/16ths middle ply), but I'm wondering if I can "mask" the dark area somehow (???).

I was thinking maybe a beige paint could be dabbed on the dark line but I'm not sure if the epoxy saturation coat would have a problem with it (and then, of course, the fiberglass layer on top of that). What kind of paint might work? Any ideas... opinions... maybe I should just consider it a "beauty mark", but it's really bugging me.
