[QUOTE="RaisedByWolves, post: 491423, member: 22989"] Switched form West systems to Total Boat epoxy as it was recommended here and other places to save some coin. Never had an issue like this with the west systems and used the whole gallon last year. Same conditions, same process, same type of wood, mixing equipment.... Ever since I started with the TB Im getting fisheyes and places where the epoxy seems to "Draw back" almost like it was put on too thin and retracted onto itself some how. I tried wiping down the surface of the first layer with acetone before and even after sanding in prep for the next layer and nothing changes. There almost seems to be an oily looking rainbow to the surface when cured. Anyone have any ideas here? Fisheye. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_2011[1].JPG"]112230._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
