: Hi Clayton, I also used 3.2oz glass from Thayercraft and Raka's
: epoxy a year ago, The 3.2oz glass did not wet out very well and
: had many small bubbles which were troublesome to get rid
: of(perhaps due to my lack of knowledge in epoxy).Please report
: on your progress I'm interested Thanks Nick R.
Nick,
The 3.2 oz cloth does not like to let air bubbles through once it is wet so I think the secret is to prevent them to begin with. Wet out and seal the wood first, fill any small gaps.
