[quote=aprosser][quote=nilespecial1]Philzy, Did you ever get any response on your idea of just glassing the top of the hulls where they are soft. I don't have an option so looking at the same thing. Left hull along the whole top and the right just between the rails. Cheers[/quote]
Don't do it. Fix the sandwich.
One drop of H2O in a full bottle of gorilla glue, and inject that mess in a couple of stages with a few minutes to give it time to foam slightly. I'm a 200lb guy that goes wave jumping at 25mph, and haven't broken any hulls and they are solid... Epoxy will drip through the lower mat, but the gorilla glue will seal itself up if there is moisture in the hulls to accelerate the cure. Use a bit of tape as a drill stop (on a drill the same size as the tip of the glue nozzle). Look inside the very shallow hole you drilled to see if the delamination is between the deck and the foam. If it is, drill your vent holes accordingly.If you don't see the gap in the hole, use a bent dental pick to poke through the foam cope to reveal the void between the core and the inner layer of glass mat (don't poke through the mat!) I've done it on 16s and 18s sides and tops with great success. Epoxy is too heavy and real foam is too expensive. Your mileage may vary. Read up on the other options, but realize the strength is in the sandwich, NOT in one layer of glass[/quote]
