Well
I am fixing to go back to the work shop and sand the tumblehomes back down to bare wood. I just couldn't get the glass to disapear and not show white in places. It was extreambly hot today and humidity dropped so maybe glass cooked off to fast
I just dont know but its coming off.

The hotter the day the more trouble I have with the wood outgassing and producing tiny air bubbles in the epoxy.

Only two solutions that I know of is to:
1. lay down the first coat of epoxy late in the day when the temperature is dropping. That way the air in the wood is contracting not expanding. It also helps to pull more epoxy into the wood.
2. saturate the wood with epoxy and let it cure before putting on the glass. This means you'll be saturating the glass from the top down but the cured epoxy will eliminate outgassing
