In Response To: S&G: Fiberglass vs. polyurethane paint. (Brian Scarborough)

: Our CLC Chesapeake project continues. God, this thing is taking forever...

: Anyway, we finally got to the sanding part today. I'm pretty sure that we
: have, in spots, gone through the epoxy fill coats into the glass. And in
: other spots, we haven't sanded completely smooth.

: I am aware that any varnish over exposed fiberglass is a bad cosmetic flaw.

: But what about polyurethane paint (Interlux, Pettit, etc.)?

: Do you all think we should squeegee a very light coat of epoxy, and then sand
: lightly?

: Or just paint it?

: We'd very much like to get this thing launched in the next two weeks...

: Thanks,
: Brian
