: Hi Dave,
: Amine wax, epoxy blush, doesn't dissolve with fresh epoxy. If you exceed your
: 6 hour limit, scrub the surface or the next layer of epoxy won't stick.

: I'm not sure if the dampness effects epoxy curing, it hasn't on any I've
: used. It will make some polyester resins cloudy.

Thanks for the comfirmation Mike - that's exactly what I thought and what I do.

I'm pretty sure damp does have an effect on amount of blush produced - both from reading the literature and from personal experience. Still cures fine, but blushes worse when damp. (Being in Cork, do you even get any days when it's *not* damp to compare with? :-)

I'm still interested in how Bill manages to get his WEST not to blush.
