: I am working on a Artic Tern from Pygmy. I recently placed the fiberglass on
: the hull and have just put the second coat of epoxy on. My problem is,
: where I first butted the joints together for each of the panels, the wood
: color is lighter than the rest of the boat. I was under the impression the
: color would blend together with a couple coats of epoxy. Will this line of
: lighter wood always be there? is there anything I can do to fix this?
: Thanks.

I think you may have to get used to this difference in color. I too have experienced this color difference. The Tern I am working on is my second boat. When a similiar thing happened on my Osprey double I was a bit stressed, but after I wrapped the boat around a log in river and had to put in a patch, the color differences seemed insignificant. I look at it like this, each boat has its own personality and look. I try not to get too caught up in making the boats look perfect anymore, nice, but not perfect.
