[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 280649, member: 9169"] Yep, it's almost like there is a bit of moisture hanging around on the top of the cured epoxy. I didn't really notice it until after my second coat. The epoxy is definitely hard and seems cured though. Yes, it will gum up your sand paper if you hit it to early. My one side wasn't quite there yet and I tried to sand and it gummed up the paper. I waited until the following evening and it was fine. I would suggest hitting it lightly with some 120 to help with adhesion, but I know some guys don't and it turns out fine. I have 2 coats, front and back, unsanded on mine currently. I'm heading away for the weekend tomorrow so we'll see what 5 days of cure time does. Keep in mind the dry and cure times are for 80 degrees. I have mine in my rec room at about 72. So I was expecting a bit longer cure time. I plan to drill my mounting holes then applying one more coat of epoxy. Then it will be 2 coats of spar urethane on top of that for UV protection. [/QUOTE]
