At this point I am sanding the hills and valleys out and starting over. I am going to use some more lights when I epoxy next. After close inspection, I found a lot of runs/drips on the sheer strips. I had cataract surgery and haven't changed my glasses yet, so when I thought that I was putting on a nice thin coat of epoxy, it was really too thick. I was thinking that I should be able to fill the glass with three coats of epoxy, but Raka just won't do that. I have listened to all the answers that you guys have sent and will be doing all of them. I just got to wanting to paddle and got in a hurry.
