Add a couple more layers. Or you can wait for it to dry and sand away to get rid of the air bubbles. ANd then start from there.

air bubbles are weak spots. you have huge air pockets. sand them down and add more layers on top. try jabbing the brush bristles into the mat/cloth rather than using a painting motion. i cut the bristles to about 1" so they're a little firmer.
