How would you fix areas like this one that does not have enough epoxy?

I think I would fix that area by heating with heat gun and lifting it up with razor blade and and trimming it out. Feather the edges with sandpaper and reglass with a small fiberglass oval. When you put on another fill coat on the edge where it is thin you can coat the patch area again with epoxy.Areas that are on the edge are easier to fix than the center of the lamination. The area you are repairing will receive another layer of tape when you joint the hull and deck. all the best rh
