In Response To: Strip: starved glass section (rich)

: This is my first boat and a couple weeks glassing and fill coating the hull I
: noticed a good sized section at the stern where the glass seems to have
: been starved creating a spot where you can see the cloth underneath. Is
: there any way to repair this or will I only make matters worse. Hopefully
: I won't be stuck living with this blemish. Any input would be appreciated.
: thanks ...rich

Best way is to either cut or sand it out and laminate in a new piece of cloth. Biggest problem with spots like this is it allows water to reach the wood below a very bad thing.
