I, too, built a Tern with the included System III epoxy, and it went pretty well except for some of the butt-joints which are a bit yellowish -- the same minute trapped air bubbles, I think. I used Raka epoxy on my Outer Island and was very happy with it. It's thinner, so it wets out glass better and lets air bubbles out easier. Not much help now, just some tips for your NEXT boat...;-)

: I applied the glass to the deck of my Arctic Tern last night and all went
: well except that the epoxy set a little quicker than I would have liked.
: As a result, when I squeegeed one area, I found that the epoxy was gelling
: and got a little milky when I went over it with the sqeegee. I stopped and
: found that this spot was still a little light this morning. It's about
: 3" in diameter. I'm wondering if I should just go ahead and apply a
: fill coat, or lightly sand first. Has anyone had experience with this
: problem, and if so, what works?
