OK, now I get it. Thank you

: All I meant was the seal coat was not needed, since you will not be
: looking
: at the hull/deck interior, the lay-up need not be totally
: transparent to
: be okay. So, no problem between your seal coat and glass.

: However, the fact that you used a seal coat eliminates the wood as
: a suspect
: in starving the glass.

: I think what happened was after you squeegeed it looked fine.

: When you used the boat and got moisture, whether water or
: condensation,
: the uncoated tip tops of the glass fibers revealed themselves as
: white/uncoated.

: Epoxy is really very weird stuff. It could have settled lower in
: the glass matrix
: after you squeegeed it, over the time it took to set-up.

: Did you use a stiff squeegee? I use plastic milk carton, for
: squeegees, although I did find
: a very soft edge one at my marine supplier recently.

: Good luck!
