[QUOTE="thill, post: 494597, member: 4972"] That looks like contamination in the wood to me. Like oil had gotten on the wood and soaked in. Maybe not obvious, but when you applied the epoxy it came to the surface. This is just a wild guess from looking at a picture. Of course, the ideas about the epoxy not being mixed fully or being contaminated or just a bad batch are just as possible. I agree that you should contact Total Boat and see what they say. Just for kicks, maybe try mixing up a batch, making sure it's mixed very well, and then apply it to a known clean piece of wood. If it doesn't repeat, then that helps narrow things down. If you have a bit of the West System around, maybe scuff up the area and see if it has the same problem. That would definitely let you know if there is something in the wood. Either way, I hope it works out for you. Problems like that really suck. [/QUOTE]
