: If I re-do the deck glassing, I'm puzzled about how much sanding I have to do
: once the glass is off. That is, how deep did the resin soak in? I need to
: get deep enough to get rid of some splotches left by the tinted Durhams.
: The concern is that if the resin soaked in really well, then I may have to
: go deep which will put me in danger of sanding all the way through, or
: opening up some areas where sanding is creating gaps where there were none
: before. If it just barely soaks in to the surface, then I'm fine. I'm also
: concerend that if I leave any of the resin, then I'll still have a
: splotchy deck, but for different reasons.

: So, at what point do I stop sanding? All the way to bare wood with no signs
: of resin and hope I don't go through, or what? What if some spots still
: have soaked in resin and some are bare wood... will that show up
: differnetly once I've reapplied the glass?

Like Jay said, the resin does not soak in that far. On end grain, it might soak in a 1/16th, on face grain it hardly soaks in at all. You will be able to tell when you have sanded away the resin. When you are done, wet down the boat and you will see places that need work.
