Epoxy: Small white bubbles/raised bumps in glass *PIC*

Hello. Can you offer some advice on the attached pictures. I'm glassing a wooden car for a friend that he built out of African mahogany. I put on 3 pre coats before applying 6oz glass. I heated my shop up to 85, rolled the pre coat, tipped it off, and then cooled it down to 65 after each coat to let it cure for a day, and had zero bubbles from out gassing on the last one. It has sat for 2 weeks after I finished glassing and fill coating it. Was going to do a final sand today and saw these bubbles/bumps. Any advice? Should I sand through them and patch in glass?

Thanks,
Greg Bridges
