: Yesterday I glassed the cockpit coaming to the deck on my Guillemot and I
: ended up with hundreds of bubbles where the coaming and deck meet. This
: was not outgassing (I know outgassing from building my canoe) but the
: result of the glass lifting at the right angle formed at the joint. I
: pushed the glass back in place over and over until the epoxie kicked.
: Today I tried drilling and filling with a syringe but to no avail. I will
: remove the epoxie from the joint with a Dremel and redo it but how do I
: prevent a repetition of this? I used 6oz 1.5 inch tape and Raka. The Raka
: was great to work with on the hull and deck, much easier and no odor as
: compared to the West.

Dale,
I used a fillet of thickened epoxy to smooth the transition and used 4 oz strips of bias cut cloth instead of tape. I rarely use tape anymore. The bias cloth cut with a fabric cutter, makes it easier to follow the curves.
