John, I agree with you. The glass was pristine when put on. We use Raka and have never had an issue with the epoxy. We have built 20 + kayaks. We usually do not fill coat the inside, trying for lightness. I am sure the glass was wet out, as some of the areas are along the fillets, and the goop oozed through the glass and was also painted with plain epoxy while still wet from the fillet. We also do usually paint with urethane or varnish with uv protection. Our kayaks are not kept outside or mistreated. I just repainted the cockpit area with plain epoxy again. We will now go and check all of our other kayaks for similar damage. I still don't understand how the epoxy seems to have vanished. Perhaps I'll write to MAS and Raka.
