Sweat could definitely be an issue. Lol. But probably not what I'm dealing with here. It must be thin resin. On this lamination I did not use a roller actually. I used a squeegee and worked the resin hard back and forth into the fibers. I could see the wave moving under the glass. First I worked at a really low angle with moderate pressure back and forth back and forth. Then at a sharper angle to move excess resin further up the stringer to dry glass. Perhaps I squeezed too much out but I know it looked damn near perfect when I left it. Checked on it this morning and I was a little disappointed. Its an acceptable lamination but just not my best. If this were a more crucial part I may be tempted to grind it but I do know its better than a lot of the factory work on this boat and with better materials. Im going to try a little cabosil (I actually have a huge bag of aerosil) on the next one and see how it goes. Fishstretcher, I will also try to float it as you suggest and maybe it won't dry out as much. thanks guys. Ill upload a pic so y'all can see.
