Hello All:
I am building a TD, and skinned it with Birch ply. Over that I put a thin epoxy coat, and therein lies my problem.
The epoxy has been on for over two weeks, and still hasn't fully cured out yet! Before anyone tells me I mixed it wrong, I assure you I did not. I used the appropriate pumps, supplied by the manufacturer, and mixed according to their directions. I also heated my shed to 70 degrees or better when I was mixing and applying, and ran a little heat to keep the shed around 55 to 60 degrees overnight. I've used the same epoxy before, on the TD, and didn't have any problems.
When I try to sand it, it gloms up any sander that I use in pretty short order, and leaves a bunch of glop sticking to the surface of the TD. I have tried 40 up to 220 grit on my DA sander, always with the same result. If I could, I would sand all the way down to raw wood, then switch to West System instead of the Boat World crap I used.
I guess my question in all of this is how to get this junk off my camper! I have tried mechanical methods with horrible results...is there a chemical or something else I can use that won't tear up the plywood or wood glue?
Any help, as always, will be much appreciated!
