: I fiberglassed the stems with three filler coats of epoxy and let it set. The
: fiberglass is clear but still shows. Do I lightly sand and fill the weave
: with more epoxy? I dont want to damage the fiberglass.

Others may have different experiences but for me I can't get a glass over wood completely clear with glass heavier than 4 ounce. I've done it with 6 ounce and you can still see the glass a little. With 4 ounce it just disapears.
