In Response To: Epoxy: Waves in the glass (canary)

I find that 'waves' that are discernible in the first wet out coats become invisible IF the fill coats are sufficient to prevent sanding into the glass or that the sanded areas are re-sealed. Leaving the glass to hang a few days might help but I think it's the nature of fiberglass to have little waves sometimes just from the nature of being rolled onto a cylinder. Being folded doesn't seem to have much bearing.
