: What causes this and what is the best way to fix? I know there have
: been discussions on this before. This boat is stored in a barn
: with a cockpit cover on it. It is used primarily in a fresh
: water pond for rolling. The okume was sealed and then the glass
: put on. In the fillet area, the fillet was put on and the glass
: put over it while wet. I looked down into the foot area and
: there are patches there too. It was also painted with urethane
: for protection.

I had that occur with ply too once. It was also over glass in the cockpit area. I was running short of epoxy so I didn't add that final coat in the one place I would be able to get to later. I think it was just too thin to do its job properly, because the rest of the boat which was properly sealed was fine.
