:: If you used a foam roller, it may be the cause. I noticed on my first boat
: that these would show up after epoxying. They are there on the boat, but
: not noticeable untill they are 'dry'.

Yes, I used a foam roller. I read that using a foam brush or part of a roller nap would remove bubbles, I just didn't realize there were bubbles at the time. Part of it may have been going to bed after applying the epoxy and not seeing it again for 8-10 hrs.

:You can use a foam brush to remove
: these, just lightly 'scrape' the surface of the setting epoxy. I do this
: about 5-20 minutes after finnishing with the rest of the epoxy (depending
: on temp, epoxy type, etc)

Thanks for the info.
