Message body

[quote=tamumpower1]I'm no professional but my DIY skills usually hold up alright. Here's now I repaired a Prindle 18 bow sized hole in my H18 which also is foam core.

Cut an access hole in the deck with angled cuts to when I resin it back on it doesn't fall in.

Cut back the hull to where the foam core was undamaged and glassed in like 7 layers of 6oz cloth on the inside with about 4-5" of overlap to the rest of the hull.

Filled with thickened resin with some chopped up glass strands I cut mixed in.

Put on layer of ultra thin 2oz cloth on the outside just in case the resin tried to break loose.

Color matched the gelcoat as best I could and sprayed it on with the purple harbor freight gun.<em>Edited by tamumpower1 on May 17, 2018 - 02:26 PM.</em> [/quote]
