Do you paint the mold with a thick layer of resin first before you put your soaked mat on it? Using a roller to spread resin will do that also along with aggressively mixing the resin as to introduce air bubbles.

Hey Denny,

Nope, I didn't
I'ma still learnin'
I'll do better next time

I wasa about ta say "F it" I'ma runnin' outta summer
...but, remember "if ya gonna do something, try-n-do it right"
...& "this" is F'in' AWFUL

So, I sanded the entire "F'in" thing down...again
...& then, started-a-fillin' holes

This rear deck area, was really bad...for some reason

This is NOT the fun part
...but, had ta B done

Yea...well...explain that to "my arms"

You could also lay down a couple of good and heavy coats of gellcoat then resin and glass over that. Then finish with a squeegee to work out air bubbles.

Any thing worth doing right is worth doing twice i always say.
