> Do you think the fisheyes were from improper mixing?

YES. When I built the strip canoe, I noticed the fisheyes, but just had enough epoxy on the canoe to be able to sand it down. It was later that I read on the net somewhere that the possible cause for them was improper mixing. Don't get me wrong, I mixed what I thought was a long time (the length everyone said). The post said to mixed longer. On our two kayaks, I have mixed longer and the fisheyes are gone.
