Strip: Fiberglassing problem *PIC*

I need advise for fixing a problem. I cut out the cockpit in my Guillemot this afternoon and it looks like the fiberglass has pulled away from the wood in one area a few small areas along the cut I used 4 oz e glass and MAS epoxy with slow hardener. I followed Rob Macks' recommendations for transparent glass the best I could for a beginner. I made the cutout with a jig saw. I think when I cut through the form the saw bounced and broke the glue joint between the two strips and the fiberglass pulled away. Any suggestions for a fix and since it happened here should I be worried about the rest of the fiberglass?

Thanks

Aaron
