Pockets in body filler

D

Somehow I missed some pockets in my body filler. Looks like a air pocket that broke through when I sanded the filler. I missed these pockets some how through all the coats of epoxy and high build. Discovered them when I was blocking the high build. Is there anyway to fix these little holes or craters now without redoing one whole side of the cab roof. There is about 6 of them they are right in your face I dont know how I missed them. Thanks for the help!
 
If you use a guide coat it will help prevent missing areas. I've been using powdered charcoal. Works as well as and cheaper than 3m guide coat.
 
You may be whipping up your filler too much when mixing causing extra bubbles. These air bubbles can hide & pop through with heat.
 
Maybe so, I mixed up like I saw on a YouTube video. You kind of smear it out flat and fold it over instead of stirring like batter.
 
Folding and smashing is the right way to minimize air, but some pinholes are usually inevitable. It's best to catch them in the epoxy stage, but a very thin swipe of poly putty on 2K to fill pinholes is usually not a problem.
 
Guys thanks for all the help. I applied a very small amount of glaze
 
Into the holes and sand lightly shot another couple coats of hh build and ir looks dinei
