I'm repainting a Hobie 16 sailboat - filled nicks with epoxy, sanded
the entire boat smooth. West Marine reccomended directly apply Ezpoxy
to the hulls via the roll-on and tip method.

The problem we're having is that no matter how clean the environment,
(garage and surface), the paint is drying with a slight grain to it.
I'm pretty sure the "grain" is tiny bits of dried paint.

Anyway, we run space heaters in the garage and strain the paint prior
to applying it.

Uuhh do the space heaters run on kerosene or propane or are they electric?
If petroleum fuels, then soot in your paint might be the problem.
