Fiberglass question

[Joker2]

I am glassing up my new transom with 17oz. bidirectional cloth (pretty thick), I put the first layer on and spread out the resin, after rolling out all the air ( or so I thought ) there were a couple of small areas that remained a little white in color. After it dried I tapped on those areas and I could tell that the resin did not soak through. I have already done the outside of the transom and it came out nice, I guess I was rushing or somthing that day. My question is what is the best way to correct it so I can continue with more coats of resin?

Hard to say without a picture, I'll stick to the simple rule if you think its not right then correct it now, remember the best material in the world will fail if not done correctly.

Are you using epoxy with 1708? The glue binder in 1708 does not breakdown with epoxy and makes a nice milky looking color like that when it cures. It also can make the laminate cure to a rubbery consistency. If that's not epoxy . . . then make sure you sand and wipe the surface before adding additional layers of material. Roll resin on the surface before laying the 1708 on it.

I am using west system epoxy 105/205, yes I sanded the pre resined wood and then wiped with lacquer thinner, then wet out some resin, then added the cloth (backed with 3/4 oz. mat) then put more resin, I did other areas on the transom which came out good, think I just didn't work it in enough in these spots, tried sanding one of them down pretty far ( almost through to wood then resined the spot and it did go through to the wood, also cut out one, and I will add a patch, this will create more coats of resin to level things out, not sure if I want to do that all around. Not sure what the best way to go is?
