Default do all (most?) epoxies bond to each other?

another tangent:

I found that if you take that last coat of resin and wipe it OFF -
ALL OF IT!, just keep wiping it off (use lint free cotton rags rather
than paper towels) you can get a gorgeous satin finish.

The only downside is the danger of leaving any small puddles of
resin which will still be shiny and quite obvious.

But if you stay at it and get it clean, it makes a really pretty finish.
And way tougher than varnish.

However... you really need to put some additional finish on top of
that epoxy if it is on an outside surface as bare epoxy does degrade
when exposed to UV.

Cheers,
