Air bubbles question

Postby SMHolmans on Thu Oct 14, 2021 10:20 am

Hi all.
Despite my best efforts I have got some small to very small air bubbles under the 'glass on the exterior hull sides.
Two questions ....
1. Does it really matter that much?
2. If it does, any good tips on how to fix it?
Many thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve

Not sure if it matters...but you may consider sanding the area down and put a fiberglass patch in it's place.

Good luck

If that's the only area, and you can sand it flat, and it's not adjacent to a seam or joint, I would not worry about it.
