I haven't seen your canoe but have a few questions.

What epoxy did you use ?

How long did you mix your resin ? I would time my mixing at about 2 min.and make sure I incorporated everything, from the sides and bottom.

did you do this inside ? Was it exposed to a lot of direct sunlite ?

A picture is worth a thousand words.

As far as a solution, usually removal and a patch.

Sorry ! I know this isn't a lot of help !

Good luck !
