Default Re: laminating - air pockets?

You got it, wet out the piece that your laminating too, then wet out the facing side on a piece of visquin, then take it and lay it on it, start from the middle, and work the air out, they come back with a little more resin, to make sure it's even and wet all the way around. I don't do much with glass anymore, I use epoxy for most things, and it is the same with that, only you get quite a bit more working time.

BTW, if you are working in direct sun, and it's hot, sometimes fiberglass resin will kick off hard/fast, and I think sometimes it outgases, causing bubbles. Usually when it does this, it gets pretty hot. Your really only supposed to lay one layer at a time with fiberglass, and not hot coat multiple layers.
