: fiberglass lay so pretty. Putting on the first coat of resin went
: easy (Mas). Waited 9 hours...not tacky...starting to hard up.
: Put on the 2nd coat with a roller that was for Epoxy use
: (green). Darn, I thought the 2nd coat would hide the fiberglass
: weave completely...it didn't. Wanted my Kayak WOOD to look so
: shiny...especialy all that exotic stuff I used. Curious?!? Does
: the weave always show thru? Did I not put enough 2nd coat on? If
: I put a 3rd coat, will the weave disappear? Will the weave
: disappear after multiple coats of varnish? OR...is the weave
: appearance standard on wood strip kayaks? think maybe my
: Beginner Status gave me too lofty of expectations on how wood
: would show with the fiberglass on???!?
: ALSO. I practiced overlapping two pieces because I want to make the
: top deck piece overlap the hull by 2-3 inches. But...even though
: I sanded lightly the place where overlap occurred...it was still
: pretty evident. SOLUTIONS...anyone?

More questions, where did you get the glass? is it treated for epoxy? how heavy is the glass?

What will work for 4 ounce glass treated specially for epoxy vs. like 8 ounce glass treated for polyester resin won't be the same thing.
