: I rolled on a second coat of epoxy with a paint roller and
: 'tipped-off' with a foam brush as per nick's suggestions in his
: book. I have a bunch of small pinhole sized bubbles now. Any
: suggestions on how to best get rid of them? For the hull i
: simply used the dump and spread technique on the second coat and
: didn't get a single bubble, wish i had gone that route on the
: deck now. Oh well. I'm planning to sand the deck smooth in hopes
: of opening up most of the bubbles and then i'll dump and spread
: a 3rd coat of epoxy, sound good?

The solution should work.

I like using a roller, but you can't "paint" the surface with epoxy like you'd paint a wall, you'll generate microbubbles that are very difficult to get rid of, likely what you have on your boat. You should think of spreading the epoxy with a roller more like pushing it around with the roller, there is no back and forth motion, that creates the bubbles.
