Spoke with some folks at the surf expo about hot coat problems and they suggested to try . <BR> <BR>1) put cheater coat on blank before lam coat and let cure for 2 couple of hours before you start to lam, Even though you are using cores that are not suppose to offgas , they will. <BR>2) mix hardener 70fast/30slow so it will have enough time for bubbles to rise and pop and melt back in. <BR>3) use propane torch to heat hotcoat up when you start seeing bubbles form , keep flame 4 to 6" away from epoxy and make 2 passes across board. <BR>4) use Methyl Alcohol in spray bottle , light mist cross whole board after hot coat has set up for a little while this will suck out air from epoxy. <BR>5) keep epoxy warm when you are working with it and let it heat up in the cup before you apply.
