In Response To: Re: Epoxy: Waves in the glass (Myrl Tanton)

: I had hours of trouble glassing the inside of my canoe, in part because the
: epoxy was still slightly tacky (it actually did not feel tacky to the
: touch, but the cloth still stuck to it). I have tons of wrinkles, cuts in
: the cloth, it would not lay flat on the keel (air bubbles).... Argh.

I wrestle with the bubbles/puckers for about 1/2 seconds before cutting the fabric. I guess I just figure it's not going to lay flat anyway. I try not to leave bare wood showing. It's kind of like gift wrapping an Easter Egg :)
