Advice on air bubbles
« on: December 20, 2019, 10:14:37 PM »
Guys I had some very small and faint what I think are air bubbles show up on the outside curve of my last pair of limbs. I did not notice them until nearly completing the limbs. I saw them after wiping the limbs down with a wet rag to get fiberglass dust off them.
If the limbs were just for myself I'd shoot the daylights out of them but they're for my cousin and don't really want to give him a pair of limbs that will break.  Any advice would be great. I'll try to get a good pic asap. Thanks in advance!

Kinda looks like something damaged the edge of the glass during profiling. Might be able to round the edge enough to get rid of most of it.

That probably will not break.Yes an air bubble. Sometimes happens seems for no reason. The spectraply we use now days for actinwood needs plenty of glue or it will get bubbles. And dont heat them up until they set under pressure for awhile and the air has a chance to get out.

Stic, since you mentioned it,  from what I recall i pretty much immediately put my form into the oven once I had everything glued and air hose aired up. Do you suppose this is the culprit?  Maybe best to wait a few 10 minutes before putting into oven?
