In Response To: Epoxy: Discoloration (Bryan Ledahl)

That was my first boat. Built it 12 years ago and still have not found a boat I like to paddle more. The wood color will even out over time. My boat is definitly darker than when it was first built. Everyone willl love it even if the colors are not perfect.

: I am currently building a Pygmy Osprey Std. I just did the seal
: coat of epoxy on the deck and im noticing that anywhere that
: didnt get sanded is showing up darker than the rest. This is
: giving it a sort of blotchy appearance. Im wondering if over
: time, all the wood will darken and eventually blend in or if i
: should re-sand everything. By the way, its been about 12 hours
: since i did the seal coat. Im getting ready to glass it, so a
: quick reply would be much appreciated. Thanks
