: So what do I do now?
: Weight a weak for it to cure then hit it with a fairing board and
: try and “re-fair” the hull (get all the ripples out) or
: orbital sander with 80 grit sand paper and just go at it and try
: not to gouge in to the base cloth? Or is epoxy so hard I will
: need a die grinder smooth it out.

I had similar results with a thin roller application. 150 grit paper on a hand block smoothed it out easier than I thought it would. I would avoid the power sander at this point. It's too easy to cut through the glass. Remember patience is a virtue.
