Default RE: GLASSING SNAFU

CP
How about cutting around two thirds of the bubbles, and use some more epoxy to stick it down. It does not look all that bad and should not be a lot of added weight. As far as Monokote, despite popular opinion it is not all that light a finish from the tables Darock posted in the kit build forum.

Is this build inspired by funkworks?


Edit to add:
I wonder if you had some dust or oil on the primer coat that keep it from sticking down in the first place, kinda weird it did that. I like to wet my glass while it is on a piece of plastic film, cover it with resin then put it on what I am glassing. Then pull the plastic off and scrape as much resin off as possible to make sure it is going to lay down good. And invariably I end with bubbles still so don't feel bad about it.
I think the only way you can insure an optimal bond is to use the bagging system, and it still would screw up on me...
