Finally going to address the remaining glass work on the topside of the cap. Need to finish laminating the exposed foam/coosa. I sanded some of the existing gelcoat back and will tie in 2-3 layers of 1708 covering the core material and blending it onto the existing glass.
There are some stress cracks on the STBD side close to the outside edge by the rub rail. After I sanded the gelcoat off it really didn't really look like much, the cracks were almost unnoticeable. I'm not sure my new glass will tie in that close to the outside edge. Wondering if i need to make a couple extra spot repairs.
How should fix the stress cracks? do they need to be ground out and glassed to keep them from showing again? Or is it fine to just fair and paint over them?
Also, are people adding glass around the outside edge of the cap to build up where the rub rail fastens? or just filling the holes good enough?
Thanks
