You are fine. That is nothing to worry about. No squeege, use a laminating roller and a 3/8 nap paint roller to wet it out then lay your 1708. Smooth out with the paint roller then go to the laminating after about 7-10 minutes. You need the resin to dissolve the starches in the fabric so it has no memory left it before you start with the laminating roller. Also if you are laying smaller stuff up put a piece of mat behind the 1708, it will solve the problem of the little air bubbles.

Great info. Thank you all. I will report back how my next one goes. Transom came out great but it was different cloth and different resin. Although I did use uncounted yards of 1708 and many pails of polyester on my bass boat and never had this issue.

My second stringer came out perfect. I skipped the squeegee and just rolled it. I tried using my fiberglass roller but the surface was too irregular and was making matters worse. I put a tiny bit of cabosil in the resin and worked the roller till it was just about jelly. Came out great. Thanks guys.

its always good to wet the surface to be glassed, and also use a wet nap roller,and wet the backside of the 1708 as you lay it down.just fold it up 1/2 at a time,wet the back and lay it down.this will help it saturate all the way through.looks like your layup is fine...
