Slight Weave b4 Varnish

Posted by Dean on Jul 7, 2004

I am almost finished sanding and about to apply varnish. However, where the deck and the hull meet and the two pieces of fiberglass overlap, I can slightly see the weave of the fiberglass (it is smooth to the touch) -- which seems undesirable based on the instructions. If I put epoxy over it, it seems to fill (I tested a spot). However, I am wondering it is necessary to fill this weave with epoxy (and sand more) or the varnish will fill the weave when it is applied.
