Default Re: question for FELLOWSHIP And OTHER members

Desperado, Trayder, THANKS now I think I got advice from all interested members! Tomorrow will be 90 Degrees in New York. Too hot for comfort but perfect drying weather. I will start the initial inside (inside the opening ) work then do the outside glass build up. Everyone gave good advice and I'm going to use it! If it comes out right, I will post some pictures!

Marc - watch the humidity, that wreaks havoc on a lot of epoxys...

The foam idea might not be the way to go as it could block the drainage of water!Just something to consider. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Hmmm, Don you have a good point. The folks at West Epoxy suggested I fill a chalk tube and shoot some epoxy into the voids. You may be right, the space could be nessary for forward drainage( and aft). Spent today sanding, The suggested 12 to 1 bevel seems a little tough to eyeball. Tomorrow I will start on the epoxy job, and give my lungs a break! Thanks Marc littlebishop@erols.com

I have to agree on the drainage. Check that the area is not a conduit for drainage. From the pictures it looked like we were looking at the bottom of the keelson which, moving aft, should become tighter to the hull than it is in this area. It would also be completely glassed in and not allow drainage. Sorry if I read the pictures wrong. Continued good luck on the repair.

Hi John, Thanks for asking about the repair, The glass work seemed a little difficult at first. After a while, I got the hang of it. The repair took about two weeks, and the finished job came out great. DESPERADO, thanks for all the advice you guys gave me while I was in Florida. John, I will send you the finished photos tomorrow, hopefully you can post them for me. Maybe some other members will get the confidence to do some tuff jobs after they see what a novice can do!!! Thanks, Marc 1973 23' Sceptre
