Hi Don. It's worth talking about. But, if the glass had been saturated, even rubbing down to the glass would not create any place for water to go, right? All the spaces between fibers would be filled with epoxy.

BTW, here's a photo showing the same area, just after glassing. Aside from one wrinkle-caused flaw at sheer line (photo left), it's all perfect.

Here's a link to the photo in huge size:
