: Hi
: I rolled on a couple of coats of epoxy last weekend and went to sand last
: night after scrubbing down with water as usual. One side of the hull went
: fine using 100 grit in the ROS but the other side is gunging up the paper
: big style. Tried hand sanding with 80 grit but just seems to be spreading
: the blush? all over the place. Tried washing again etc but doesen't seem
: to help - would sanding with wet and dry help or any suggestions?
: thanks
: Pat

Blush is a water soluable wax, have to get rid of that first. Sanding does nothing just moves it around. I wash with dish washing soap and water with a scotch brite pad. Takes some serious scrubbing sometimes, and lots of rinsing.
