Super Ron Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hey guys, can you sand epoxy? I painted a jerkbait and didn't notice a couple bubbles in the clear. I was wondering if you can you 1000 grit sand paper or maybe steel wool to smooth the bubbles down and then add a second coat. I would rather know before I try. That way if I can't I just put it in my tackle box instead of giving it to my son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gliders Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Yes ,sand then clear,steel wool could leave tiny bits in epoxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayhem1202 Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Sanding marks will disappear with the next coat, but be careful with the dust when you sand. Epoxy dust is bad news, particularly if it's only partially cured. I prefer to wet sand epoxy to avoid that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRammit Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 No steel wool... I did that once, left an ugly dark spot I couldn't get out no matter how much I sanded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW Lures Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 If possible keep the grit as fine as possible. I got a tad bit carried away once and left some noticeable marks in the clear. Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
