: Hi again Nick,

: I do wonder how you're cleaning the hull prior to putting on the
: glass. Some solvents can be a problem with glass as well as some
: cleaning solutions, might seem minor but bubbles happen because
: of little things. Soap and/or oil will stop the epoxy from
: bonding to the surface. There have been a couple minor problems
: people have had on this forum just using oil in the shop for
: other things that contaminated the boat prior to glassing that
: caused similiar problems.

: That said, the glass should fairly easily lay smoothly on the hull,
: though it does take some time to smooth it out. Any surface
: roughness will cause problems with this, if the wood wasn't
:
really smooth before you applied the seal coat that can make the
: surface rough enough that the glass will snag the rough spots
: and not be easy at all to smooth out. Not being able to see the
: boat in person means you have to be our eyes :)

Hi to all again, I had a lot of great response and deeply appreciate it and will try to respond. I called Larry at Raka and he confirmed
with Bill and others that the glass has to be perfect before applying the epoxy, he also questioned my timing and thought starting
the wetout at 8:30PM may have got me into evening dew which is a nono he also confirmed cutting the blisters and patching was
an option if they were small, he also sugested I use a laminating roller to bed the glass I will start glassing the deck on thursday
and will keep you informed again many many thanks to all for your help Nick R.
