In Response To: Other: Stress Cracks in Epoxy (europa)

I found many cracks in the epoxy of my CLC LT17 when I refinished it last year. Not sure what caused them although I'm thinking it may have something to do with the cold winters here in NJ. I briefly considered sanding down to bare wood and re-fiberglassing the boat but ended up just applying new varnish- decided the cracks were probably not a structural problem.
