: Hi Bryan,
: Didn't get sanded? Did you not sand the whole boat? I find that
: hard to understand.
: Could the difference be between areas that were sanded and areas
: that were burnished by blunt sandpaper instead?
: Else it simply is a question of wood in one area being more
: absorbent than in an other area.
: If that is the case the next coat of epoxy may even things out.

Ill clarify...i was extra cautious when sanding the deck because i accidently over sanded some areas of the hull. Thus, the deck ended up with some areas that still had a thin layer of epoxy. This is most evident near the shear seam because when i was injecting the epoxy into the shear seam i had some runs that i just brushed onto the deck. Not sure if that makes sense.
