: I rolled on a second coat of epoxy with a paint roller and
: 'tipped-off' with a foam brush as per nick's suggestions in his
: book. I have a bunch of small pinhole sized bubbles now. Any
: suggestions on how to best get rid of them? For the hull i
: simply used the dump and spread technique on the second coat and
: didn't get a single bubble, wish i had gone that route on the
: deck now. Oh well. I'm planning to sand the deck smooth in hopes
: of opening up most of the bubbles and then i'll dump and spread
: a 3rd coat of epoxy, sound good?
Hi Damian,
You will have better success if you use a roller specifically made for epoxy. The kind that are foam and only about 1/8" thick. Check out this page for rollers.

Be careful sanding the pin sized bubbles out, don't get into the glass sanding if you can help it.
Hope this is helpful.
