I am getting a lot better at this, but I am finding that I am getting foam in my epoxy when Im wetting the cloth. During the mix there might be one or two bubbles, I am very careful to mix easily. I drizzle the epoxy onto the glass and start spreading with my squeegie and before long LOTS of tiny bubbles have formed in the epoxy. The epoxy ridge is nearly white as a lightly draws it across the glass tape. Am I working it too much, should I put more on and squeegie fewer times, but take off more epoxy with each pass?
I found out about fiberglass tape, so I got a 50 yd roll and went to work this AM. First try was complete rubish, had to trash it. But the second attempt went very well, but I think I may have squeegied to much epoxy out. After applying the layup it seemed to absorb air...bubbles appeared where there had been none before. Is this possible? I was dilligent to look for the "whiteish" appearance that cloth that is to dry can exhibit and I didnt think it was.
