Hi All,
Was just thinking about Dean Trexal's problem with air bubbles and a thought went through my head.
I have heard other builders suggest that when you tape the hull to deck joint, you roll you tape onto a stick and soak it in a container of resin. This pre-soaks the tape.
Other than a little extra resin waste and a little extra mess on the plastic throw sheet, why couldn't this be done with the hull and deck cloth?? It seems that from everyone's description the problem is caused during wet out of the glass and this would be eliminated with pre-soaking.
There must be a problem with this idea as it seems too simple!!
Ian
