In Response To: Epoxy: Orange peel (Glen Gray)

: I have just put on 2 thin filler coats of epoxy with a foam roller, the base
: was well sanded epoxy. The new finish is "orange peel" as it
: goes off, I tried tipping it off with a foam brush but I was a bit late.
: It's not a big deal as I will be giving it a light sand before I put on
: another coat in a day or so. I'd just like to know if I can avoid it next
: time.
: Glen G.

Wash the surface with water and a scrubbing pad to remove amine blush before sanding or recoating.
