To Blush, or not to Blush... *LINK*

: Scrub the epoxy surfaces with a Scotchbright pad and some detergent and water
: to get rid of any blush before sanding. That's what gums up the sanding
: disc.

Gosh, I hate to sound like I'm fretting over every little thing, but...

Lotsa talk of amine blush now has me concerned. I am using RAKA non-blush hardener. Should I take 'em at their word, or assume blush is part of the territory with epoxy? First boat, mind you...

Cheers,
