Hi!
This is probably a really trivial question but I'm about to start my first paint job on the boat I've been restoring for the last year and a half and I really want to result to be as durable as can be.
How far in advance of painting can I do the sanding of the surface? Does sanding of the...
There is no obvious entry point for water I guess my worry about that is that it would accumulate over the years and the freezing temperatures (gets to about -25°C / -13°F at the coldest each winter).
I realize I have kind off lost perspective on the actual points where the transom gets it...
Thanks for the thorough reply. I plan on opening up the voids fully so I can be sure it's filled in top to bottom with milled fibers and chopped strand mat.
I agree on that most people just probably do not know. I've seen plenty of youtube repairs with equal amounts of resin that I used and...
That's actually a really interesting thought. Now that I now where the voids are I would like to know what that looks like on the scanner. It would probably be hard to interpret if one does not have some reference points. Have a friend with a 700$ model that I can borrow in a few weeks.
Sorry dont mean to not be listening what is said but i have been lurking around the forums long enough to see "toss the hull" etc. a little too much.
I dont mind doing the work but ripping something out that people generally seem to agree on can be fixed seems extreme, especially since I'm...
But if I have confirmed that it is limited to some areas and I do it the hard way by removing the glass it should be just as good as if it had been right from the start?
There really was good clamping and oozing out resin around the perimeter all around the center and bolt holes.
Thickened resin did ooze out from the perimeter around the whole central part during installation, otherwise i would have stopped right then and there. And like I've written I have done a series of drilling to confirm.
Knowing that it is properly done would be achieved by filling in the voids...
Yes, that's an idea, I'd use epoxy though.
The benefit with cutting the skin around the void is that I can do a surface preparation before filling it in.
Exactly what I thought about doing if syringes filling was no good.
I do not see the point in doing it from the inside?
I would have to remove odd bits of the plywood to access the inside of the outside skin.
From the outside I could cut out the full size voids, prep the surfaces for a thick...
Yes I added some thick cloth to the inside skin after I had removed the old plywood so there are no problems there. I slabbed on what I thought was a good amount of thickened resin and it oozed out at some locations but not all which was the reason I started to worry in the first place.
Having...
Would this do more than just fill these voids? I mean, would it add something for the structural integrity?
Since these are regions where I would be putting epoxy on unsanded epoxy trying to glue it to another unsanded epoxy surface.
