: Hi Robert,
: I would just leave it. The only one who will see it is you and even
: if another sees it he will not see it as a blemish, but simply
: ask what that is.
: If you must fix it, heat it with a heat gun, cut down to the stem,
: peal the fibreglass back to where you can't see the fibreglass
: anymore, cut off and replace.
: At the stems the strength of the boat will not be compromised much
: by doing this.

Thanks for the help. I am upset to see this pop up on my kayak. Do you have any idea why I would get visible glass after glassing? I am pretty sure I had it wet out good and only noticed it a few days after glassing the inside. I work in a 65 degree garage and tent it to cure. I also took it outside to sand the inside then took it back in to glass. So some obvious temp changes. Do you think it could be outgassing that went to the outside while glassing the inside? Oh well, Its still fun and I am already feeling the need to build again next winter. After I finish insulation in garage!!
