In Response To: Feathered edges and first fill coat. (Steve)

: After I feathered the edges of the reinforcing glass and applied the first
: fill coat I noticed that some of the feathered edges remained white. Any
: thoughts as to why this occured. 98% of the sanded edge became clear again
: except a few spots. Should I sand down to the edge and try again after the
: fill coat sets up?
: Steve

You have unfilled glass that's trapped sanding dust or fibers and gaps that need more resin.

That's why you apply fill coats first then feather.
