    Bruce, I have a small amount of experience with what I think you are
    describing. Did you do the sanding under water?  That always works
    for me using the #600 wet/dry. Another issue may be the epoxy you are
    using.  I was taught (by Susan Sloan) to use Devcon two-part, two-ton
    epoxy.  Its cure-time is longer than other epoxies, but I've found it
    produces the hardest surface, which presumably would make it less
    vulnerable to gumming up with other residue while sanding. I don't
    know anything about papers made specifically for plastics. Tracy
