Angier Ames writes that he is concerned about epoxy/micro in the airflow
being weak. 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.
