: I'm hoping I'm wrong. Any thoughts/experience appreciated.

From what I understand, you are stuck with the blotches and will just learn to live with them if they are small. If they are huge you might be able to sand the entire area down again but you may just be making big blotches instead of little ones.

I had some of these and just considered them learning curve and went on. They really aren't that noticable to anyone but me and they probably don't affect the performance of the boat that much :)

Have fun and good luck.
