I'm wondering if anyone who uses epoxy as a finish has ever had any problems with blushing?
I experienced it for the first time recently. Pretty sure it was because the humidity was high. It was not a big problem, it rubbed off with a little warm soapy water, but it was a surprise!

Depends on the epoxy. Some blush normally and it has to be removed. I use MAS epoxy which does not blush. (20 years of wooden boat building)
Always do what's right, even when no one is looking.

Well there you go, exterior and no blushing and I guessing it holds up really well. :thumbsup:
I would rather fail at something above my means, than to succeed at something  beneath my means

This was MAX epoxy that I decided to use for a surface coat. First time using it and first time getting curing blush with any epoxy. It was not a problem, I had heard about it for years and knew exactly what was happening. I did let the coating cure for 3 days before I sprayed it. Seemed like the safe thing to do.
