Hi Rob:
Thanks for input. Unfortunately, everyone has to start out as a novice. I purchased the Super SAP primarily because it was said to be low odor, which it is. I'm building my kayak in the basement so I wanted something that wouldn't permiate the whole house. I guess my terminology is wrong. We wet out the fiberglass, then applied a second when the wet out coat was still a little tacky - not very. The only hardner I have is slow. I didn't know you could mix and match hardners. I really didn't have a lot of runs and drips, but I more likely appplied it thicker than need be. I'm probably going to have to let the epoxy cure and depend on a mechanical bond as we are going out of town until next Wednesday. Can I try to scrape off the bubbles now and let it sit until next week?
Jack
