: Ive been building a cedarstrip rowing boat for teh last few months
: and everything was going fine untill i glassed it with 6oz glass
: a few days ago. I put a sealer coat on aday before i put my
: glass on as advised then i glassed one side of teh hull then the
: other and when the epoxy was setting, i started noticing a few
: bubbles rising . I tried to force them down but they keptrising
: and i had to leave the boat untill the next day. I came back
: next day and teh epoxy was set so i sanded my hull with 80 grit
: sandpaper and this happened. I rubed it up with water to see if
: teh white colour would dissapear and it didnt and now it all
: looks a mess and im now considering taking off the sq area of
: glass and redoing it. Would this be ok to do or is there
: anyother way of fixing this problem

If you inject some epoxy into the bubbles with a hypodermic needle, they will disappear.
Sometimes you have to prick the bubble on opposite ends to let the air escape when you are injecting the epoxy.
