Default Re: Scupper repair

Denny thanks for the tips. The deck, gunwale and adjacent wall are covered in 2 layers of plastic wrap - the sticky saran wrap to keep it from moving. But maybe I'll mask it again to be sure. The other thought was to use some modeling clay for displacement instead of a dowel. I used straight epoxy on the first round to fill the gaps where the water had been penetrating. Did seep a little through the cracks in putty that encloses the block, which was exactly what I had hoped for to seal any cracks in the wood and glass.

The little yogurt cup less than half full would have flooded the hole, so it really doesn't take much.

Try again tomorrow...

I could definitely use any tips for keeping the adhesive out of the brass scupper tube when positioning it, as I suspect it and the hole will be covered in 3M 4200...
