: I am currently building a Pygmy Osprey Std. I just did the seal
: coat of epoxy on the deck and im noticing that anywhere that
: didnt get sanded is showing up darker than the rest. This is
: giving it a sort of blotchy appearance. Im wondering if over
: time, all the wood will darken and eventually blend in or if i
: should re-sand everything. By the way, its been about 12 hours
: since i did the seal coat. Im getting ready to glass it, so a
: quick reply would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi Bryan,
Didn't get sanded? Did you not sand the whole boat? I find that hard to understand.
Could the difference be between areas that were sanded and areas that were burnished by blunt sandpaper instead?
Else it simply is a question of wood in one area being more absorbent than in an other area.
If that is the case the next coat of epoxy may even things out.
