And I don't like that it has kept us from starting the fairing process,
having nearly finished (couple of significant-depth areas to add to) not
only filling but sanding our other repairs.

We MAY get out of the yard before September!

Actually, we would be stunned if it took that long. The adding of
fiberglass, layer by layer, in itsy-bitsy pieces, is intensely
time-consuming; what's left, not so much, though we have yet to experience
the joy of long-board sanding, which may revise our thinking of how long
it will take to commence with the simple laying on of layers of stuff with
rollers (many coats, but not particularly time consuming)...


Skippy, you may have dallied too long on the hard. Rainy season has finally
started and where you are you can now expect some rain, often heavy rain,
just about every afternoon.

What kind of resin are you using for the patches? I hope Epoxy resin as
polyester resin is an open invitation to more blisters. But, you'd better
mix it in an air-conditioned room. Why?

Can you say hygroscopic. IOW if you mix it in a humid atmosphere you will be
adding unwanted moisture to your laminate the result of which will be more
blisters.
