Hi Andrew,
Bill mentioned out gassing into the glass weave.True,but you will also get bubbles coming from nowhere if you have a rising temperature whilst curing your seal coat.Do it in the evening as temperatures fall and the epoxy will instead,get sucked into the wood,I actually mean,get pushed in by atmospheric pressure, for you Physics types.
cheers,from Paul, who, almost, found out the hard way.
