Well I have been sanding away at my hull trying to get ready for paint. Not sure if anyone else has noticed, but sanding kind of sucks :!:

I still have to fill a couple of small dimples to fill, and some fillets to add to the keel strip and spray rails. I have the rest nice and smooth and fair to my eyes and hands. Only problem is that in a few areas I have sanded through to the glass (not into, just to). I have read many times here that if you reach the glass, stop and put on more epoxy, but is this necessary if I am not sanding any farther? I can't feel any difference between the areas at all.

I do not enjoy epoxying large areas (and enjoy sanding them less), but if these areas will cause problems later I will.

So my question is do I need to coat the whole thing, just around the spots where the glass is showing, or will it be OK?

Thanks for any input.

If your going to paint, It is not a problem. But, if you're going bright it will show.
