Loose Bulkhead 23WA

I wonder if injecting some West System G flex in crack before a new layer would be beneficial. G Flex comes in a caulking tube and is thickened. Check out their web site.

I checked the port side, and the aft section looked ok. Notice there is also wood on the inboard side. On both port and starboard side, the wood is only tabbed along the bottom. When I knock on them, they sound loose, eventhough the tabbing looks solid. So I injected some thicked epoxy behind the wood, then ran a layer of 17 oz biax along the top.

I put the starboard aft section back together as is was. I made sure the wood was only making contact with putty when I set it, then tabbed it with 17 oz biax and epoxy.

Sorry Sandy, I wasn't able to use the tube technique. Very ackward space to work, I couldn't get both hands in there at the same time

We'll see how it does on the next rough ride.

Was nice talking with you.
The way they build things today, munchkins will be in high demand. Janet was looking at
