: If you sand through the wetted color of the epoxy sealed wood, when you rewet
: a permanent light spot will remain. I use a cabinet scraper to remove

: only takes 10 minutes to scrape a hull or deck.

Yep, the cabinet scraper is the way I need to go to make smoothing easier. I haven't seen any at the local hardware stores and I know that if I see one, I will remember that I need to buy one.
