: I am working on my first S&G kayak build and fiberglassed the inside of the
: hull today. Unfortunately, I didn't do the best job laying the cloth and
: now I have some air pockets along the keel seam. I tried to correct the
: problem before the epoxy kicked but I was not fast enough.
: Can anyone suggest any remedies? Leave alone? Cut out the air pockets? Inject
: epoxy into the air pockets?
: Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have only built 2 kayaks but here is my 2 cents.If they are small I would leave them. If bad or they really bother you cut them out,grind or sand the edges to feather,put a small piece of glass over the spot, then more epoxy over the glass and it will be gone. Remember to sand the area under the glass and epoxy to adhere....kirk
