In Response To: Epoxy: weave (Dave)

: Hello All,
: I am in the process of adding fill coats on the hull and deck of my Outer
: Island, and after three coats, there are still some areas where there is a
: slight weave visible, and it can be felt. I was wondering if I could save
: epoxy and just sand everything smooth or keep adding epoxy until the weave
: disappears? Maybe under saran wrap?
: Thanks,
: Dave

If you sand it, the glass will turn white and is a bitch to hide. The idea of the fill coats is to fill the weave so the glass disapears.
