There has been at least one report of rain causing pits in expoxy/micro finished areas. When I am smoothing out areas such as wing root/fuselage junctions, I mix a bit of flox into the micro. Anything up to 50/50 micro/flox sands quite well. It does add a little weight, but the flox should add strength. I typically use 75/27 micro/flox to keep the weight down and still get some strength.
