Hi, I used mainly my gloved finger to rub the airbubbles out of the wettet cloth.
Worked fine.
Greetings Joaquin:
Today I glassed the right side of the hull. My wife helped me in this
: process. First we laid out the glass cloth, pinned it with masking tape,
: and lined it up with the sheer line. Straightening the cloth was not a
: difficult task. I thought it would be harder. Then we mixed up first batch
: of epoxy and laid it out from the middle. The manual calls for sqeegeeing
: epoxy after the coat has been rolled out.
: Here is where I thought the trouble started. The coat looked great but when I
: started using the squeegee the cloth stretched out and created air pockets
: underneath the cloth in places where seams formed a 'valley'.
: I tried to work the cloth and get rid of the bubbles but some pockets were
: just impossible to work out.
: So the questions are: What danger am I running into if I do have some air
: pockets underneath the cloth?
: Should this be fixed during the next 'fill coat'?
: Thank for any responses.
