Default Re: Wet stringer foam question

John - how wet was it ? are you pulling out the gas tank ?

I'm going to suggest that you pull the tank, and check the condition of the tank platform - when you do that, you will also have exposed the sides of the stringer boxes - the one that is wet, you could then drill a series of holes into the stringer box, and allow it to drain, then glass over those holes, before you (probably) replace the gas tank platform - this would be a whole lot easier than taking the top off the stringerbox and replacing the foam - a move which I would highly Not suggest, as it interferes with the structural integrity of the stringer box - not that that can't be done, but it requires a much more strenuous fiberglass layup to correct.

just my .02

by the way - where in western Mass ? I'm in south central NH, would be a fairly easy day trip to pop down and check in and see what you're up to ?

Bill
