In Response To: Re: Strip: sand smooth now or later (John K)
: Thanks folks for good advice on this, the scraper sounds good but I think I have missed the green phase on at least half the boat, I glassed and did first fill coat on the hull about 2 weeks ago, but I can still use the scraper on the deck. I am using West epoxy, any thoughts on how long it will stay green, given that it is temperate here at the moment.
thanks for the help

- Consider scraping, not sanding. less mess/time
