: Supposed non-blush epoxies can blush. Generally a non-blush epoxy
: will not blush but we're dealing with a chemical mix ratio and
: moisture in the air which causes the blush. Why would it blush
: just in one area? Because you may have not mixed as throughly as
: you could have. Also, how long between coats? When I glass, my
: next coat goes on as soon as the previous coat is hardened to
: the touch. When in doubt, scrub it with a scotch bright type of
: pad and water with a tiny bit of detergent or no detergent. Wipe
: it with paper towels.

: Non blush epoxies generally do the job but it's not absolute.

Absolutely, there are blush resistant resins (actually hardeners) but there is no such thing as a resin that will never cause blush.
