Waves in the glass - tackiness

Geez, I hope I didn't steer anyone wrong about the tacky epoxy thing. Having built 4 boats this past year, rolling the glass cloth onto slighty tacky epoxy worked just great for me. I'd used that approach before on other projects. The general consensus is NOT to do it that way. So, I'd recommend the builders following this thread to follow the general wisdom of the group. Me, I guess I'll just be one of those "tacky" guys. :)
