: Ken,

: If the bubbles are only on the outside edge of the coaming, I wouldn't worry
: about putting more glass in place. As long as the top and bottom of the
: coaming lip are glassed, it should be strong enough. If that's the case,
: just fair it in; add some clear epoxy if you have to.

: Good luck,

: Pedro Almeida
Good though Pedro, the bubbles are all locations where strength is not needed. It think I will just fill them in with epoxy, smooth them over, and move on. If I ever build another boat, I will put more radius on the edge of the lip, and possible try the good spray adhesive suggestion.

Thanks,
Ken
