I have a gouge on the bottom of my cougar boat by arrow glass of memphis, I think the previuous owner hit a rock , the gouge is about 2 feet long, I sanded the area about 2 inches away from the gouge in all directions and smoothed down the edges in the gouge,I'm using "PROFESSIONAL Fiberglass Resin 4104" from AutoBody Master It Contains Polyester Resin, I layed three layers of evercoat Sea-Glass Fiberglass Mat it says .84m then the little 2 in the corner for squared is after the m, I am getting air bubbles in spots I will try to post pic's, and I was also wondering If I am doing it right with the right stuff I thought I reseached the problem but after doing a search on the site I am starting to second guess.

Easy! upload your picture to a free online server such as http://photobucket.com/ <br /><br />copy the url. When you post in iboats there is an image button on the bottom of the screen. open the box, paste your url in it and click ok.<br />finish your message and post it. That's all there is to it.

You need a fiberglass roller to get a real good adhesion and get the bubbles out. You could also wet out the area with a brush then put the cloth on then take a squeege and push the fabric into the repair. Squegee to me is a plastic putty knife.
