Everything was clear before I started to sand it. The surface is still rough. I did sand it down to get rid of the high spots so that the varnish would lay out more smothly. Was I wrong in sanding it to creat a flat surface? I thought that it would be ok just as long as I didn't sand through the glass. If I wet it out with water and it doesn't dissapear, epoxy won't cover it up either? right?

To me it almost looks like it is where one coat is on top of another but I had applied the second coat when it was still in the green stage to avoid more sanding. Is this possible? The pictures aren't great either.

Thanks for all of the great information,

Brian
