To start, the roll of fiberglass I have has what I call a run in the roll. I have been able to work with it up until now, but it caused me some pain with a bubble along the entire port side of the hull. I ended up sanding it down and putting a patch on the entire length of the boat.
I also had a lot wrinkles all over. I took my time as I have done previously, but again I had bubbles that needed to be sanded down and patched. I thing I wound up with about 10 places, so I had to do a lot of rework. One good thing, I will have plenty of coats of epoxy on the hull.
It has been very warm in the garage. About 80 degrees during most of my working sessions. I wonder if that had anything to do with it, but at this point it is water under the boat! ha ha!

I also have been putting extra fiberglass on the bow. I already have 3 and may do more before laying down a layer of dynel clothe I purchased. I need to see how thick it is. It is still in the packing.
Now I get to re-sand the hull. Shouldn’t take that long, since it is pretty smooth.
I also have some places I will need to use some fairing compound on. The finger joint in the above picture has some dips that I can see.
