I went to west marine yesterday and they didnt have any foam brushes that they said would work. So I bought west system foam roller that they said would work for a fill coat. I resanded the kayak with 180 grit and applyed the resin and it was all small bubbles in resin. Then I went over it with a brush and got rid of most.Is it impossible to put down a thin layer of resin that is clear of bubbles?What am I doing wrong?
