Reply to: How repair 3" hull gash in Nacra

[quote=dmgbear55]It would be nice if you could do most of the repair from the inside of the hull, but that seems unlikely given the location. If you could reach the repair area by removing the deck then that would be best. The reason is that doing the repair from the outside of the hull means a very large area to fair in to make it look good. But I suspect that you will have to do the work from the exterior of the hull. The first thing to remember is that you will have to grind back a bevel that is 12 to 1 the thickness of the skin that is damaged. So an angle grinder with some very course paper, or maybe an orbital sander with the same kind of grit. I would recommend doing the repair with epoxy, it is very strong and bonds well to the existing hull. West systems has lots of good info on doing these kinds of repairs and their setup with the pumps is great for small repairs like you get to do. https://www.westsystem.com/products/[/quote]
