Strip: What do I do now - Fiberglassing Question *LINK*

I am in the middle of glassing my second hull today. I went on several sites that mention using a scraper on setup epoxy to smooth the edges of the football area and remove drips, etc,etc after the second layer of resin.

In doing so I have created a bit of a problem. Most areas when wetted out with a 3rd layer of resin have returned to their glorious clear state. However a couple of sections have white spots that have stayed whitish. They appear to be in the cloth weave pattern of the lower- mostly- layer of cloth.

What did I do wrong?

What can I do to fix it?

Most importantly; What do I do so as to not create this situation again!

I will post a pic as soon as I get it uploaded to the net.
