West sys. glue mix

Is the blush as prevalent using west system and microlite thickener?
I have some glue lines that are concave and require extra filler. I dont want to scrub because of raw timber;Will a lite "edge folded" hand sand surfice?

You want to wipe it down, then sand, then wipe again. If you sand then wipe, you might just be grinding the blush into the surface.

Yep, I agree,but I don't want to wet the bare timber. Winter is coming on
and the timber will be starting to absorb moisture. I will heater the hull inside
prior to glassing. (In a couple of weeks. )

Just a thought, but what about giving a vigourous wipe around with a epoxy
wet brush to take up the amine blush and redistribute it into the next mix?
