Dry Weave and Delam around vent for hollow redwood log

Hi All. I built a 10'2" hollow redwood log (7th board for me). I didn't want to put in a vent but I eventually grew paranoid that the board would delam or explode without one so I placed vent in the deck. The board is made from 5/16ths thick redwood strips with a bit of Koa in the tail and fin. I sealed the board with a cheater coat of resin research epoxy, put on a single layer of 6 oz glass, did a fill coat and a gloss coat. I got a bit of a delam around the vent hole and would love some opinions about the best way to repair it. I know that there will be wax over the spot and its fairly minor but I've put lots of work into this one (milled the wood myself etc) so I want it to look good. I tried to inject some resin underneath the glass with a needle (this helped a bit) but I couldn't get to the entire affected area.
