Yes, you can... just sand the 5 minute stuff with 220 before applying the good
stuff. It might gum up your paper, if so then go to a rougher grit. All you're
doing is making a more uniform surface for the next coat and providing micro-
scratches for better bonding of the good stuff. Win-win. Send pictures, I love
pictures... Gus

Thanks Gus, another question answered!! I did sand the mold last night with 120 grit to smooth out the lumps and bumps. I had let it cure for 24 hours, so it was nice and hard, not gummy at all.

The 5 minute epoxy being as thick as it is, really worked good to seal the fiber board without causing it to swell.

I'm doing the picture taking old school, seeing as I killed digital camera!!! I should have the roll finished up this week and have it post soon. Thanks again Gus!

Blessings, Snow Crow
