Re: Preperation for ReEpoxying
You should wash cured epoxy with water before trying to stick something
to it as it often has slimy "blush" that appears and keeps next thing
from getting a good grip. Some people like to use Scotchbrite plastic
scouring pads when they do this, tho in my experience the blush comes
right off with a sponge and water. Of course I think Scotchbrite will
dull up the surface, and you really want to scuff up the surface before
putting on more epoxy if the first epoxy has more than a couple of days
to cure (I use sandpaper). Before that, you get a chemical bond, or so
I've heard. Wash off the blush in any case unless the first epoxy is
still goopy.

I think it goes like this:
Scotchbrite and rinse epoxy before you add more epoxy (/fiberglass).
You may sand for added tooth (some say), but dont omit the preliminary
Scotchbrite and rinse, or youll be spreading the amine blush around
with the sandpaper.

Sorry to hear about your evil dog and ensuing problems. Someone

Good luck with your eye,
