Strip: Delamination *PIC*

This is stress induced delamination along the upper hull from a Thule padded kayak rack. I carried 3 other older kayaks without issue at the same time. The glassing was over 4 weeks old. Raka epoxy, appropriately mixed and applied at warm temps, with good fiberglass with no sizing issues.

Has anyone seen this? New boat. How do I fix it. Never had to strip glass and redo. If you heat up the glass don't you end up having to redo the whole boat? Grrrr.
