Scott,

If you feel there was blush on the surface prior to recoating, make sure you sand through the topcoat and wash the sanded surface well with water and a scrub pad - or wet sand.

Washing is a good practice with all epoxy brands since "no blush" really means low blush.

: Had to use some of this stuff in an emergency. Lot of blush, which I didn't
: see before recoating. What do I do, sand it down a bit and then recoat?
: I'm used to nonblushing epoxies, mostly Raka, and was not alert to this
: problem. I'm thinking of just sanding down with 120/180 grit and recoating
: with Raka. Problems?
