Hank, The only problem I have with wet sanding is that it is difficult to tell how far I have sanded because I cant see the "rough". Do you not worry about that with 180? I'll try the rag or spray bottle, my usual hose is too much water. Also, are you hand sanding? I have usually used a air-driven "jitterbug". It works great on the finer grits, in prep for varnish, but I find the ROS with 80-grit fastest and easiest for smoothing the epoxy.
