: You say that you use a squeegee to apply the epoxy. My question was "do
: you use a squeegee to remove the excess epoxy?"

: You also say that you check back on your work a few hours later and it is
: then too late to remedy the situation. You should be checking your work
: every 15 to 20 minutes for the first few hours so you can react to
: problems before it is too late.

: If you look at the 3 photos I have posted on my MSN photosite you will see
: what the fiberglass and epoxy look like after the saturation coat, first
: fill coat and second (final) fill coat.

Thanks for suggestions Glen and really nice pictures. As you indicated I probably need to keep a closer eye on my work and deal with the problem in a more timely manner.
