Sand inside hull between epoxy coats?

Submitted by DMK Sails - Tue, 1/18/22 » 11:31 AM

Working on my WD12 and I've completed the fillets & taping on the interior hull and deck. Plans now call for a second coat of epoxy. Do I sand between these coats, or is that overkill?

I followed this after making the mistake of sanding between coats for no reason and it worked well

What is the recoat time? - Since epoxies from CLC are 100% solid (no solvent), recoat time can be as short as surface tack. If more than 30 hours pass between coats, we recommend a light scuff sand. Always check for blush on surfaces.
