I am building a Guillemot double and just put the second coat of epoxy over the glass on the hull. I am disappointed in two areas.
1. The white carpenters glue I used shows through in lots of joints - looks bad, is their any way to correct or do I just need to build another and use less glue next time?
2. I have a few ugly air pockets which look really bad. Can these be cut out and patched with a piece of glass cloth and re-epoxied?
Also, where I laid a second layer of glass cloth there is a distinctive line. Can I now try to feather that out by sanding and will the varnish leave a nice finish or must I lay another coat of epoxy after I sand? I am afraid of getting the boat too heavy by using too much epoxy.
Thanks for your help in these matters.
Joe
