Travis,

I can't believe nobody has suggested this yet. Go spend a few dollars on a cabnet scraper. Scrape the runs off instead of sanding them. It will go much faster and you won't have to wory about sanding into the glass. You also wont have to breath all of that toxic epoxy dust. If you look in the archives, you will find a lot of useful information on scrapers. I highly recommend that you look into them before sanding. After buying mine for my third kayak, I wondered how I built my first two without one.

Mike
