In Response To: Epoxy: Dry Spot in my glassing (Mark Vander Horck)

Glassed the inside of the hull yesterday. This morning I find areas where the glass did not adhere to the strips. I think I know what needs to be done next, not looking forward to the carving. Any suggestions?

Mark:
How large are the 'epoxy starved' areas? And how many are there?
A few coin-sized spots would not be a 'big deal' for spot repairs.

If you are thinking of stripping off the glass with a heat gun, keep the hull cool if possible and try to strip reasonably soon - epoxy does take days to cure completely (depending on the temperature).
