Has anyone tried or know what would happen if you applied a
polyurethane product over epoxy when the epoxy was still tacky. Would
the adhesion be better? Would it intefere with the cure of the epoxy?
What about a latex primer over sticky epoxy? Anyone try anything like
that to try and get a better adhesion to the epoxy?


TIA,

Thanks guys. I guess I'll let it cure first. I was hoping to avoid
sanding because the sanding won't be the easiest. It's nott a nice
flat surface. It's all fillet sanding and the fillets aren't the
smoothest..


One thing I have found you can do is scrape nearly cured epoxy with a
dutch scraper, or even a wood rasp if you need to take down more
material. Of course, if you are painting opaque, you can use a fairing
compound to fill in areas which makes for easier sanding. Good luck,
keep the elbow brace handy...
