If you've only got one coat of epoxy on, don't start sanding/scraping/whatever until you've filled the weave with additional coats of epoxy. This will help prevent you from hitting the glass during the fairing stage.

: I spent the day glassing the hull (first timer!) of my Expedition Sport
: yesterday and clearly used way too much epoxy. There seem to be a lot of
: runs & drips.

: Am I right to sand these down ? It seems too much for a "fairing
: board" and I'm thinking that it looks like a job for a oscillating
: disk sander and 60 grit paper?

: I'd appreciate the forum advice before the epoxy sets too hard!

: Thanks
