In Response To: Epoxy: Mottled epoxy? (Paul Streitman)

Did the epoxy get wet before fully hardening? How long has it hardened? What brand?
Insufficient mixing can cause that as well. In other words, not thoroughly mixing the epoxy.

Try wetting the surface with paint thinner (terp) and see if it disappears with that rather than testing it with water.

If it persists, you can try sanding a bit deeper and putting a coat of epoxy on it? (a guess)

good luck
