Strip: Poor Fiberglass Bond

I put my newly built kayak in the water and upon removal have a few spots on the hull where the fiberglass is not bonded to the wood. My guess is that I either got a little stingy on the wet out coat or didn't let it cure long enough before putting it in the water. Is one of these or something else a likely cause for this scenario (Yes, I was in a bit more of a hurry than I should've been - lesson learned)? More importantly, what is my best course for resolving this issue?

Thanks,
Tyler
