Epoxy: rain on epoxy

I just finished glassing the inside of my kayak over the weekend. This morning we had a torrential downpour, and in heavy rain the roof over my back porch leaks. When I checked on the kayak, rain was pouring over the deck and running into the hull. I dumped about 10 gallons of water out of the hull. The new fill coat of epoxy on the deck that was glossy last night is now dull looking. Is this amine blush? I use Raka and I haven't seen it before. Or is this some other reaction to the rain water? I will be sanding it off before a final fill coat, so I hope it's not a problem.
