Do you make use of a squeegee to remove excess epoxy after doing the wet-out? This action also presses the cloth down against the wood or precoat so it doesn't float in the epoxy. Do you purchase the glass cloth rolled or folded? Do you roll out the cloth over the boat and smooth it out with your hand before applying epoxy? When you apply the epoxy are you careful to not push or pull the cloth out of place causing wrinkles or waves in the cloth?
