Mike,

You need to use a more aggressive sand paper. You will spend too much time sanding if you stick with 120. I used 80 grit then followed by 120 and a little 220. The quality of the paper also makes a huge difference. My dad gave me several partial rolls of 3M paper that he uses at his car repair shop, it never clogged up. When I ran out I bought a roll of cheap 80 paper at Harbor Freight, I can barely sand a foot before it clogs and needed to be changed. I was in a hurry to get my boat in the water so my topcoat is a thin coat of epoxy. One day I�ll get around to sanding her down with 220 and varnishing. To me, it looks like you still have plenty of epoxy before you hit glass.
