Annapolis Wherry build. Nice boat! Finished with epoxying the hull - three light coats (four on the glassed bottom strakes to cover the weave), tipped each one. Nice and smooth, that works. Sanding now for paint - 120 grit. I sanded through in some spots to bare wood I am afraid. Question is: Can I spot epoxy those areas? Or do I have to put another whole coat on the hull? Hate to add the weight, but if I have to, for longevity, well ... i will. Any ideas folks? Thx,

RE: Sanding Epoxy before paint
Excellent, thx. Bare spots are just in unglassed areas. The bare wood should soak up the epoxy spot patches nicely. Will probably do a couple of coats in the patches sanding "carefully" :) in between. Appreciate the help. Will save time and weight.

If it's unglassed wood then a spot touch-up is fine. Just replace all the epoxy you wrongly sanded off, smooth it to match the rest and be more careful this time :-)
If you sanded through glass then you should put on a glass patch. Again, just cover the bare spot with a couple of inches of overlap onto the good glass, feather it in, fill the weave and smooth it to match.
