: I`ve had problems with chemical bonds in the past - the epoxy peeling off the
: second or third coat.

I remember that some epoxy drips on cured interior surfaces were easy to pop off. Some I had to scrape, and the scrape left a white mark the same shape as the drip, but some just popped right off without a trace. Maybe it's the latter phenomenon that the sanding prevents. Maybe those bits were on places where there was some amine blush but I just didn't see it.

At any rate, I will sand anyway, though very gently. I need to feather in the edges of the double-layered areas, and the rest of the glass on the hull is dry already.
