Supposed non-blush epoxies can blush. Generally a non-blush epoxy will not blush but we're dealing with a chemical mix ratio and moisture in the air which causes the blush. Why would it blush just in one area? Because you may have not mixed as throughly as you could have. Also, how long between coats? When I glass, my next coat goes on as soon as the previous coat is hardened to the touch. When in doubt, scrub it with a scotch bright type of pad and water with a tiny bit of detergent or no detergent. Wipe it with paper towels.

Non blush epoxies generally do the job but it's not absolute.
