Default Re: Scupper repair

Gillie - both the BOW and West Marine stores here have empty caulk tubes pretty cheap. You can pour the thickened epoxy in them, and then it's real easy to pump the stuff into the holes. A half to 3/4 of a tube should be plenty to fill 2 holes. If you'll just stick a wood dowel in center of that PVC pipe in your picture, long enough to extend out top of scupper hole, and and then seal the PVC to hull with some cheap caulk like polyseamseal, you won't need so much epoxy and you'll have a nice soft "pilot core" that will make redrilling the hole much easier!

A couple of tips: 1.) put the resin and hardner in the fridge the night before to slow down the cure. (It tends to get pretty hot in the caulk tube and will cure quickly unless the resin is cold to start with!)

2.) Suggest you mask off the deck around the scupper holes. If you drip epoxy on that diamond pattern non-skid, it's tough to get off! I masked mine off and still managed to drip some on the deck . . . either didn't mask a big enough area, or I'm more of a klutz than I thought! When I did the anchor roller, I covered entire front deck! Denny
