: Finally, if I'm reapplying epoxy, how perfect do I need to be in removing the

: Thanks,

I repaired a gouge in the deck of my yak and didn't get all the varnish off in the surrounding area. The spots of varnish left dark pools of gold under the epoxy. It looked terrible and I had to sand the new epoxy off and make sure I got all the varnish off the surrounding area before reapplying. It turned out well but it was a lot of extra unnecessary work. Be sure to get all the varnish the first time.
