I am repainting my boat and remembering by trial and error how to apply a good even, non bumpy uniform layer. After putting on one layer, I am redoing top. The bottom was not smooth (some unpopped bubbles and other minor irregularities). I wetsanded with some very fine grit paper and smoothed it out. Not surprisingly, however, the glossy sheen is now gone (although it is smooth). I am tempted not to redo it since I don't really care what the bottom looks like (it looks good enough), but am just wondering if the glossy finish that is not gone serves any functional purpose.
Thanks, Dave Walker
