Sorry... best I can come up with. I don't recall if I sanded my seams or not... I think I may have just used the cabinet scraper on them and faired them after glassing.

: I don't buy that explination because : Unless you are perfect in applying the
: epoxy on you boat at the seams, you need to sand the seams out fair
: anyway. This will take off some of the wood near the seams. Thus if this
: were the case the area near all of the seams wiould come out lighter than
: the middle of the pannels, but that demonstatably is not the case.
: Yeah it;s not very noticable, but I notice, and it bugs me. I want this boat
: to be as perfect as I can make it
