So if i'mk understanding I should wash it with water to remove any of this coating that forms and this should improve the adhesion of a subsequent coat. What I did was to fairly aggressively sand off the layer in question and then mixed up new epoxy in a new container. Even used new measuring cups (actually glue syringes to be more precise in proportions of resin to hardener) and it happened again, although to a lesser degree, and the dry spots are smaller. (Now about1/8 inch diameter) but they are numerous. I'll try the water but it's odd, because in the entire process of making my kayak over about 9 months, this never happened before. Same room, same technique,same type of containers, same disposable brush.anyother ideas? BThe way sent messages forum admi and still unable to upload photos. Thanks a lot.
