Ok, so this is just a curious question.
I have had a chevelle in SPI epoxy for a while now, probably 9 months. I have been distracted by other projects and life in general, and have noticed something that I'm curious about from ya'll as the experts...
I block sanded some of the epoxied areas on one of the quarters just to see how flat things would look and hit metal. I did stop (didn't grind into the metal). I also did not re-coat and then ended up in my above-mentioned distraction. I'm a bit surprised that after 9 months in a non-air conditioned garage in South Carolina there isn't a hint of rust on those spots.
To be clear: I'm not hoping for rust.
I'm just curious about this and wonder if I've been saved from my laziness on this one. Does the epoxy remain as a film even though it "looks" like I've sanded to metal?
