Default Re: Holes in hull ?!?!

Use West Marine Epoxy, slow cure hardener. Mix in Cabosil (West Marine Colloidial Silica) or WM structural filler (?microfiber?) and mix until a paste consistency. Don't add too much. Add in WM barrier cote. tape outside of hole after drilling. Get a syringe injector and inject into the hole. Do this from the inside of the boat, retracting the injector so that no voids exist. Slap a small patch of biaxial glass over the hole and wet with resin. Sand/grind the inside patch a bit when done to fair. I had a few of these in mine and would never trust a soft sealant, even 5200. I find Marine Tex too brittle.
