: Thanks, guys. I think sanding down to "virgin" epoxy before

: the Sierras for launching. I'll be gentle with the sanding. First time
: with this problem, so I felt a little T-boned at the intersection. Thanks

Sanding generally won't remove blush, which is like a greasy wax, just spreads it around. Needs to be washed with water and a scrub pad, I use 3M's green pads for this.
