That epoxy dust is a bitch. It's so fine, it gets into everything. I have a high quality respirator, I had to take a shower after every sanding session. I got it to 220, but I have these little white dots in the surface. I think they are tiny pits and the resin dust is in them. More sanding no doubt. I'm getting there. Slowly !!

Don't worry too much about the dots. Blow them out with compressed air and use a touch up paint brush to fill them in with urethane before you coat the rest. It'll be fine in the end.

Thanks Ryan, I'm going to give a try this afternoon. I was hoping the urethane would fill them. THE END IS NEAR !!
