: Think you're misunderstanding blush. That's a waxy film that is formed by the
: resin/hardener as it cures. Using it can't cause blush. The UV resistance
: of the 105/207 is better than normal resins but isn't enough to resist UV
: by itself. It'll turn cloudy if used alone, but that's not blush.

Whatever it was, it appeared when I used the paddle twice over about two weeks time with no varnish. It wiped right off with a scotchbrite pad, so it wasn't in the epoxy, but just on the surface. It hasn't reappeared after varnishing.
