: So I used the tight weave s- glass and all went pretty well, except
: for a few bubbles on the inside. I used a hypodermic needle,
: bought from the local farmer’s co-op in the horse section, to
: inject epoxy under the glass. I have to say this works quite
: well. You just poke a hole with the needle in one end to let the
: air out and inject from the other end. The only thing is the
: funny looks you get from the lady at the check-out. "Are
: you going to inject something?" Just try to explain you are
: injecting epoxy into bubbles in a kayak. I need one more needle
: I think I will bring by phone that has pictures of the boat this
: time. Joe

I'm familiar with the funny looks; the teller always asks me for my taxfree farm number and when I say I don't have one she eyes the hypos and starts thinking bad thoughts ... I'm not sure telling her I use them for boat-building is going to help her feel better. I'm not going to mention the captive alien in the garage either.
