Default HELP! fiberglass issues on the hull.

So today I started to grind off the delam on the hull. the problem can be seen here:

http://www.classicseacraft.com/forum...b=5&o=&fpart=1

It was advertised as only cosmetic damage, so I wanted to make sure that I got any and all glass off that was delaminating before I started laying up new glass. I kept grinding the last piece that came off exposed the inner most layer of woven roving that is not exactly structurally sound.

my question is: can I grind back all of the bad glass and just float the new stuff over the place where it is bad? If so, is this something that could be permanent solution, or is it something that I will need to open stuff up next year and repair it from the inside. I dont really have time right now to do a full job right now( take deck out and do it from the inside). I currently at my folks house working on the boat full time and not working elsewhere, so I will probably run out of money pretty soon if I dont go back to work soon.

I will try to post pictures tomorrow if I have time. I got my next batch of epoxy and need to put the second stringer back in and finish tabbing in the transom as well as the last layer of glass.
