Re: Restoration: 1988 Wellcraft 170 Classic 3.0l Mercruiser Alpha 1 gen 1
Just using the pl to bond the pieces of ply together. Once that is dry I'm using 1.5oz mat with thickened resin to attach to transom skin then same with normal resin to build inner skin. If I drill holes and want to seal them what's the best way? Over drill hole with next size up then just coat inner hole with resin? Might just use 5200. I know poly will crack without mat. But I was also thinking if I over drill by 2 sizes up I could actually use a small piece of mat with resin and use a balloon to keep it tight in the hole. Blow up the balloon once everything is in the hole. I know I'm going to use this method minus the balloon for the outdrive key hole.
Any recommendations for this guys?
