Re: 1970 11.5' glass rebuild, transom, seats, hull repair
I spent the next few weeks grinding and in that time I decided I wanted the chines filled. I thought it would add the rigidity and strength I was looking for. I made a batch of epoxy, added 1/2 and 1/4 cut strand fiber to about 50/50 glass to resin, then added as much fairing compound until it was paste. It took about a gallon of epoxy just to do the back half of the boat.
