Thanks guys. The cap needed a ton of work. Someone in the past had repaired a lot of holes but only filled them with resin. They didn't put any glass over the top of the repairs so all of them were showing thru the paint. The paint was a pain to get off. I don't know what it was but there was primer and paint and it seemed like it never really cured fully. It was really hard on top but underneath would gum up the paper. So I sanding the entire cap and patched every hole with at least 2 layers of mat. The big holes and rod holder holes got a couple layers of 1708. I also had to attached the back half of the cap where I cut it off to do the transom.
