Epoxy: Epoxy over Polyester??????

hello,
I recently started my Merganser. I cut all the panels
but didn't have my epoxy resin yet so I used some polyester
resin I had in the shop for the but joints (where the front
and rear panels are joined).
Well I wish I had had the patience to wait for my epoxy.
SO......what will happen if I epoxy over the polyester???
Should I sand away as much as possible,
or not worry about it????????
The joints seem strong.
