: +1 on cutting them out and applying small patches. The likelihood
: of making the blisters invisible by injecting resin is, I think,
: not great, plus you may then have bumps that may be more
: difficult to fair than overlaps. The light glass you are using
: should make patches easy to fair.

: Good luck,

Hi All I think Allan makes sense but! I'm holding off doing the deck until I get some advise from the pro's on what i'm doing wrong
I think I read about Bill Hamm and someone else using Thayercraft 3.2oz and wonder if they had any problems. I seem to think
that the 3.2oz. does not wet out as well as 6oz. and I also am having the problem of getting the glass to lay flat before wetting out
btw I put a seal coat of raka on before glassing I hope someone can help thanks a million Nick R.
