Also, I am using Doc Rot’s Lay-up & Laminate epoxy which might not mix well with acetone. However, the Lay-up & Laminate is a soap and water clean-up (if washed off while wet) yet it appears to be as good as any epoxy resin I’ve ever seen used, once it is dry.
So, rather than test first, I went at it with thought. This second outcome was a lot better than the first. Here is what I did:
1. I lightly sanded the previous application; then, vacuumed it to remove loose particles.
2. I cut the sheeting of loose fiberglass particles into pieces that would fit my individual sections, and carefully set them aside.
3. I brushed the surface with a layer of the Lay-up & Laminate and lightly pressed the cut sheeting in place, using a moistened paper towel. Because the paper towel was moistened, it did not stick or react with the loose particles or the epoxy resin.
4. Next, I wiped a spatula with a moist paper towel and began making chopping motions (sort of like mincing sliced onions) to break up air bubbles and further attach the fiberglass to the surface. Using only the end of the spatula in a chopping motion, the fiberglass particles stayed in place and did not attach themselves to the spatula.
5. After 4 hours of drying time, I applied another coating of the Lay-up & Laminate over top. Since it was a small area and I was being a bit lazy, I used a wet sponge applicator. Near the end, the sponge started to break up but the pieces are small and will be covered with paint…no big deal.
Below is a picture of the outcome, still wet from the last application of epoxy.
While the old, sanded errors are still evident in the white spots, most of them are now evened out and, when it is sanded again and then painted, I think it will look a lot better than it would have before.
I suppose that'll be another purchase that I'll need to make...but it's not in the budget yet.

Love it and your build. You certainly have a lot done and a big job!
