I bought a 16' cedar stripper that is good condition, structurally. I am going to have to reinforce the bow and stern with fiberglass and epostems because of abrasion that has exposed wood. Since it appears that the original builder only put a single filler coat of epoxy on the inside of the hull (the pattern and texture of the fiberglass are clearly visible)and perhaps only two coats of epoxy on the outer hull, I want to put another 2 coats on the entire boat while I am at it.
That's a long way around to ask: Can I apply additional coats of epoxy inside and outside over sanded varnish, or should I completely strip all the old varnish before applying additional coats of epoxy?
Thanks in advance for your help.
