: Hello,
: I have sanded the third coat of epoxy on the hull(S/G) and there are
: semi-faint white checkerboard patterns, the surface is smooth though. Does
: it need more epoxy??

Yes, If you apply only one coat you may sand right back where you are now.
I'd suggest applying two coats of rolled on resin.

The surface will be quite smooth and you can start sanding with 120 then 220
and varnish.
