: Recently, my kayak was on a pier and was blown into a pole. It hit right
: where the hull and deck meet. It left a small indention on the hull, but
: popped the glass off of the deck in a small area. My question is to fix
: this ding could I mix up some epoxy and inject epoxy witn a syringe in the
: off glassed bubble? As opposed to sanding down the deck to the bubble and
: reglass the deck and then varnish. Thanks for your advice

Every time I have drilled a bubble and injected epoxy, the drilled holes (inject point and vent) looked as bad as the bubble. I would sand, glass, feather, fill coat, sand and varnish.
