Hi Rick,

As I said, the cloudyness did disappear after it was out of the water (and dried out, I guess), so hopefully you won't have to sand it out. I guess I'll take Nick's advice (thanks, Nick) and varnish the whole thing. I didn't want to varnish the hull because of the durability of varnish (or lack of it on a hull), but I'll take scrapes in the varnish over cloudy epoxy any day.

So I'll do that and keep you posted.

Jody
