As I worked, I added more coating to those wraps for the epoxy to fill the dimples and spread evenly. I gave It a few minutes and wicked the 'excess' epoxy from the wrap. The dimples however kept appearing - not necessarily on the same spot. I thought that the second coat would solve the problem, but it didn't. It almost made it worse. What can be the cause of this? I have lookes for fuzzies, but could not see any with the naked eye. I have completed two section of the rod now, but want to try and avoid this happening to the rest of the sections. I was quite disapointed to see this...
