I'm sure that I've read the answer here before, but it's currently alluding my search. I'm doing a light fill coat on the interior of my SW17, but the wet-out coat left a few drips with a small bit of pooling in a couple spots. Would you recommend sanding out the drips, etc before the fill-coat or after? I guess my concern would be sanding into the glass if I did it beforehand. Thanks for your help as always.

RE: Quick Question re Fill Coats
Thanks Paul. I didn't have anything near bad enough to cause a usage problem - this was just cosmetic. I ended up sanding/scraping the high spots down in the cockpit and then applied a very thin coat of epoxy to seal it up. It seems to have worked well and shouldn't have added too much weight. The boat seems to be coming along well.

You really don't need any fill coatsw inside the boat. The exposed weave gives you a little bit of nonj-skid and the extra eposy is just weight. If you have some drips that might snag something then knock them down with sanding or a scraper. If you are talking about the cockpit then a few coast of varnish will prtect you frm teh sun, otherwise leave it as is.
