After allowing 10 days for epoxy coating to full harden, final sanding done. It took approximately 8 hours to do this. Moved everything outside, started with 80 grit on block just to find high spots. Switched to Bhaco scrapper and got majority runs/drips removed. Worked from “120-180-240-320” grits with water washing between. Used Makita orbital and it worked great. Hull back inside (with my new air filter system) and varnishing to be started in morning.
