: Once the glass touches the wet or tacky epoxy it will be

Paul, Nick, Rob, thanks for the hand holding and advise. Yesterday was a little scary for me. I felt like I was working on a crack egg. But I did put on a layer of epoxy to stablize the deck strips. I really worked it in with a 3 inch foam roller and I had bubbles probably from the over work but I could see them real well since I epoxyed in good light with the boat just inside the garage. I remember seeing this on this board or downloading some instruction on bursting the bubbles by taking a 3" foam roller sleeve and cutting it long ways and then adding a cloths pin or something for a handle. Then dragging it across the bubbles. Remembering this, I put my finger on the 3" roller I was using, to stop the roll and make it drag, I pulled the roller over the bubbles and they easily disapeared. I think I will let the epoxyed deck stand for a couple of days and then do a light sanding before I glass the deck. Then I can breath a little easier. Thanks again,

John
