: Hello,

: Last week I put a layer of glass on the inside of my boat, however I was
: called away the next day for a week so could not put the fill coat on: 1)
: Does this matter to the structural strength of the glass-epoxy ?
: 2) If I need to put a fill coat on, should I rub down the existing layer
: first ?
: 2-a) If I do this I will of course sand a little into the glass, is this a
: problem ?
: 3) If I wish to add an extra layer of cloth, should I sand down before I add
: it ?

: Sorry for all the questions at once.

: Thanks

Ian-

I have been told that the fill coat inside does not matter. I have not done a fill coat on the inside of my kayaks. If you want to do a fill coat you should probably wash the first coat down and light sand, in the past I have used a 3M green pad to do the scrubbing and then wiped the area down with a damp cloth.
