In Response To: Re: Strip: Drips of epoxy on surface (Rob Macks/Laughing Loon CC&K)

OK Here's another question: I just finished taping the inside and outside of the seams together, to join the hull and deck. After an initial coat of epoxy to wet the tape I applied a second coat to fill the weave. Now this filled tape stands slightly proud of the surrounding surface. If I sand the edges of the tape to gradually blend them into the surrounding surface, that will, by definition expose a small amount of the cloth, at those edges. Can I just rely on the varnish to cover this or do I need to re-apply more epoxy after sanding?
