Default Re: To Vent or not to vent. That is the question.

How do you get to the inside of the hull to put a piece of glass tape?
you fold it in half or roll it up. then stick it in the vent hole. then unroll it and flatten it out.

I should add that I always use those disposable medical exam gloves every time I glass/epoxy. That way you can do stuff like roll up tape, stick it complete under the epoxy and squeeze the bubbles out. Or use your fingers to get corners to lie down. When done, you can do that cool doctor trick where you take off one glove, roll it into the palm of your second hand, and then pull the second glove off, pulling it inside out over the other glove. Now all the epoxy and first glove are on the inside of the second glove. Sort of like the dog poop trick where you put your hand in a plastic bag that has NO holes, then pick up the poop, the pull the bag down over the poop, and dump the bag which now has poop in it.

Without the gloves, I think it would be pretty hard to tape the tabs in.
