In Response To: Epoxy: drips on a S&G (Danny)

: I must have messed up b/c when I tacked the hull panel together, quite a bit
: of epoxy leaked to the outside of the hull. Now I have some major drips
: and runs that are dried on the outside. I've sanded as much as I can, but
: they are still visible. When I fiberglass the outside, will the runs and
: drips be visible or will it blend in?
: thanks

Masking tape on the far side of the seam will eliminate the though drips. Scrape epoxy drips, always. It removes the drip without removing epoxy adjacent to the drip that will encourage sanding into the glass or into the bare wood (prior to glassing).
