Good Morning This is a misconception, cured epoxy does not leave a waxy residue only in the esters does this happen. That is why one if necessary can put polyester on epoxy but not epoxy on any polyester. Furthermore, it's not a good idea to mix systems. Suggest that a thorough research be done on resins before this misconception is thrown out. This is why it is not a good idea to use varnish on the inside for sealing, but epoxy diluted with alcohol then one does not have to sand out varnish in the event that further gluing has to take place. However, it should still be roughed up before gluing for adhesion. Happy Flying!
