Re: Plywood core in hatches
Scott,
The plywood is cut into squares so that you can insure you do not create air pockets between the outer skin and the core material.I am not a big fan of epoxy it is difficult to use and if the mixing ratio is not just right you can have problems.The boat is made of polyester and I would use it for any repairs.I would use a polyester or vinyl ester resin and saturate a 1 1/2 oz. mat then place the squares down making sure they "seat" well.After this kicks I use a cabosil/micro baloon putty to fill any voids,sand flat then add your bottom laminate.
d.h.
