White spots in glass :( *Pic*

While sanding the area around the cockpit last week I encounterd several areas with these white spots after sanding. I didn't think much about them figuring they were just high spots and would wet out again later. Well, I was wrong! They do not wet out clear but remain white. :( It seems the more I sand around the more start to show up. Originally I glassed the deck and added 3 fill coats of epoxy. If I sand the spots directly in one area they eventually seem to disappear but I not sure but what I've sanded through the glass. Could these be stress marks from taking the deck on and off to fit it? I quess my biggest fear is the whole deck will do this when I start to finish sand it. Any suggestions would be gladly accepted.
Thanks,
Steve
